"Blue foul, eleven" was rammed into my head by one particular camp clinician over the course of several years (same camp UP Mick attended regularly, if anyone out there knew him). Your helpful critique prompts me to say that I don't say the word "number," just give the number while signifying fingerly.
I appreciate your response, Scrapper1.

In my little corner of Connecticut it's, "Blue. One. One. Push." I realize that the NFHS, and IAABO, mechanics manual states to only signal, not verbalize, the infraction. I also realize that there has been debate on the Forum regarding, "One. One.", or, "Eleven.", but as St. Ambrose said, "When in Connecticut, do as Connecticuters do.", or something like that.

Even back door Connecticuters?

Or as Shishmaref Ref would say, "When in Nome, do as the Nomans do."

Haven't heard from our westernmost officiating buddy for a while on this board. Hope all's well with him. He officiates in what has to be absolutely the most widespread conference in the USA, the Bering Straits School District. Amazing travel logistics!

Heard one of his sled dogs blew out a couple of toenails and he got to a game late last week.
