Player Control or Offensive foul

Beautifully explained.
I don't do NCAA games, but my friends that do tell me that they now have a mechanic for indicating a "Team Control" foul and that this signal is exactly the same as the player control foul signal. That ought to be a little confusing!

Depends on if you do Women's or Men's sides. The NCAA is not just satisfied by having the same signal, they want to both have their own. For officials like myself that do both at this point, this is confusing. I see why they want you to pick one over the other. I had a Women's game on Friday, then turn around and did a Men's scrimmage on Saturday afternoon. It took me a couple of times up and down the floor to think "Men's mechanics" on Saturday afternoon. First time I had a back to back night like that. I am choosing next year so I can concentrate on just one.
