"Over The Back"
I was watching a boys V game last night and saw the Official call "Over The Back" using the signal that imitates a player going over the back. I have seen this on at least 3 different occasions this year during a Varsity game. Does this bother anyone else other than me? To me it shows that the Official obviously must not attend clinics otherwise that would be corrected and his parters do not inform him of his error. Am I off base here or does this bother others also?

Not an approved signal at any level. Stay away from it. If your partner is an old dog you won't change him. If a newer official, try to offer constructive critisim.

i used that mechanic once...my first game in my first year. still remember it. i remember how the bench guy smiled at me when i did the "tiger paw." during the next dead ball my veteran partner asked me about it. he kindly explained to me that there is no such mechanic...that i should use a push.

i'm grateful for his (and all the guys/gals in my pool) teachings to this day.

Great point, There is NO SUCH call as "over the back". Alzheimer's or not, ANYONE should know this.

Any any official worth their salt would know what over the back is too. At least the kind of play you asked a question about for sure.

Peace

It perpetuates the myth. I don't even use the phrase in conversation. I've seen guys use it, too, and it bugs the crap out of me. Wish they'd have to forfeit their game fee if they do that.

The conversation bothers me more because it suggests they clearly do not understand the rule. Then again I do not see anyone giving that signal very often if ever.

Peace

I haven't seen that 'mechanic' yet, but I did see a "gator chomp" (like Florida Gators fans do) last week in a game I was watching. Not sure what it was supposed to mean. The offending action was blocked from my view.

Keep watching the guys doing varsity though. You will see alot of things you shouldn't do. But you will also see alot of things you should do. The key is to figure out the rights from the wrongs and what works for you.
