Before the jump ball, I have noticed it's common procedure for the official administering the jump to look at the table and ask with hand signals ready.

What type of acknowledgment to do you want from the table to signal ready?

It doesn't effin matter.

Sigh.

Personally, I thought it was a reasonable question, but probably the only one of the last 10 he's asked, so I "get" your frustration.

It's probably overrated to ask everyone, though, as the whistle makes it pretty clear the ball's about to go up.

My U1 being ready to go means the table is good to go as well. If I'm U1 a simple, "Are we good to go?" is all I ask. A simple yes or no is all the acknowledgement needed.

At the beginning of a half/quarter I just look up to make sure the correct amount of time is on the clock. A simple glance at the table to see if everyone ready is all that's needed. The whistle before the throw-in will get everyone's attention.

Agreed and agreed.

8 minutes on the clock, everybody seated, Tweet!, and hand the thrower the ball.

Damn...Bob...get off the guy's back. He's simply asking a question that "MATTERS" to him.

You're acting like me when I get frustrated with Coaches...and that is unprofessional.

BTW...eagleman...I like to point to the table and get some kind of response before I toss it or bounce it at the start of the 3rd quarter.

While this was a reasonable question in my opinion, it is hard when chs makes pointless threads about pea vs. pealess whistles or whether he should be pointing out uniform violations, etc.

I have the timer hold up his taser so I know the table crew is ready.

I was just curious about the whistles cause of coming upon the Fox 40 website & knowing that there's still whistles being sold that have the pea inside them.

Concerning the uniform violations, I just ask questions about something I see is all. (Considering I'm seeing undershirts not the color of the torso of the jersey being worn in Sub-V games or logos/text seen on the undershirt through the neck opening)

What brought up this thread was from watching the Findlay Prep vs. Lincoln Replay on ESPNU & thinking back to previous games this year.

I stand by my response. It doesn't effin matter what type of acknowledgement the table gives -- thumbs up, a nod, a point, saying "yes" or "ready when you are", ...

Dan, we realize he's your buddy but a lot of this stuff he's posting is just spam. Sorry if we don't have the tolerance for him that you do.
