Hey, chseagle, speaking of signaling 2pt. FG's...

When there is a FG made that is really close to the 3 pt. line...what is your philospophy on weather or not you like a signal, from the official, that it was just a 2pt. FG?

Personally I point at the line on the floor -- if the shot's successful, I signal a 2 to the table. If it's improper, I couldn't possibly care.

I always look for the 3 pt. signal if I see the shooter is near the 3 pt. line farthest from the table, as that's not an easy area to see (especially if there's additional traffic in the area).

Majority of the time, I'm timer, I'm in Gym #2 where the scorers' table is elevated off the court off a couple of rows so I have a better view of the court than in Gym #1 where the table is court level.

I also make sure before posting the points that it was either a 2 or 3 made by looking for the signal. If no signal I hit the +2 button & let the scorer know 2 pts.

Not only proper, but expected, here in the "Land of Steady Habits".

CONNECTICUT MECHANICS:
Point to floor for two-point field goal try when shooter has foot touching three point line.

Me too, and me neither.
