I worked with a guy this year who did something I'd never seen before. He held the ball in one hand and then with the other hand, he pointed with one finger to one end of the free throw line and then the other end of the free throw line, while saying the "one-and-one". I thought it looked interesting, but it's nowhere near the "correct" mechanic.

Hmmm. May as well use the "hook 'em horns" or "hang ten" signals.

Which is what I do. But I rotate my hand back and forth a couple times when doing it.

You mean the Ronnie James Dio signal.

No, he was never in that group; you're thinking of Roger Daltry.
