Table Reporting question/First game report

[Adam]

Good job: I'll just add two things.
1. High dribbles are just that, high dribbles. Nothing illegal about them, and the player could have continued his dribble legally had he not caught it.

2. Technicals don't count as "personal" fouls, they count as total fouls towards dq. It's a semantics issue, but it's important to understand the distinction between technical fouls and personal fouls.

I see what you are saying about the wording, but as far as telling the book/table, do you not tell them to count it against the players personal foul total to simplify for the table crew?


On which hand to report with, I have had a local assignor (not from my association) tell me he wants his guys to signal closed fist, open palm, 3 point attempt and report #'s to table with the hand closest to the division line at that time. My assignor has not specified to me a preference.

Just tell the table "it counts towards his 5."
1. you avoid the semantic error.
2. It takes less time.
3. It uses less oxygen (which is at a premium where I ref).

I like this, but would it even be better to say, "it counts toward his five and the team's ten"?

Unless they are already at 10.
