There must be something wrong with my computer. When I log onto the Official Forum Basketball, I end up on the Official Forum Baseball.

Why don't you take that to the sex forum? :D

(one example of many).
And if I was evaluating an umpire, I would definitely mark that umpire down for NOT giving a safe signal / that's nothing in that situation.

Yes, it's an optional signal in basketball for not CG. But there are times when it's a perfectly valid signal to give. There are times when I will birddog, too (when there's a few defenders around and there's doubt on who committed the foul).

The only time to give the signal in the first place is when the count distance is not "clear" to everyone that is watching. All the official is doing is telling everyone "I do not have a count because the defender is not in the right distance in my judgment." A lot of times coaches complain when they think there should be a count. This just tells everyone why you do not. It should be used rarely in most cases when players are standing around.

Peace

What needs to happen
 
They just need to change it to 3 feet, holding the ball in the front court instead of 6 feet C/G for the men. Just my opinion.:D
