I've never understood the dislike for the mechanic, and still use it occasionally when there are multiple people in the area of the foul. |

That's exactly the situation when it should be used. And why it was left in the mechanics and in the book.

Definition
BIRDDOG: (archaic) The action of a basketball official whereby s/he, with one closed fist thrust skyward as far as it will go without detaching from her/his body, positions the other hand perpendicular to the vertical line of her/his body to the extend that it will reach with downward facing open hand or single finger or index and middle fingers pointing at or about the person who committed a foul. More difficult to execute in cases of a double foul, unless said official was born with three arms.
