This signal is useful for when the coach thinks that you just aren't counting because you forgot. It shows that you are watching the play, but that the player is not closely guarded.

I do not use it very often, but occationally it is useful.

However, I abhor the "foul-tip" signal and it has NO place in our officiating mechanics. Why? Because sometimes YOu don't have the best angle on the play and you do a "foul-tip" signal to indicate a blocked shot while I am calling a foul!

Actually, it's never happened to me, but I've seen it happen to others and it does not look good!
