the majority?
Might depend on what area of the country. In our area it is expected that a hand/fist is used on all violations/fouls. Most who neglect to are usually those also doing college ball. Local supervisors emphasize using it and during the tournaments the state supervisors make it a major POE that all officials use the NFHS and not NCAA mechanics.

We were taught, when you blow that whistle, you better have a hand up, a fist up, or two thumbs up.
Never really gave it much thought, but why have a "stop the clock" signal on violations? Is there any time the whistle itself doesn't stop the clock?

I think without the stop clock signal prior to all fouls/violations we dont allow ourselves (HS & small college) an opportunity to discuss & get the play right in the case of conflicting calls.

That is a good reason...it gives a brief preliminary communication to your partner about the nature of the call you have. Secondly, I know I've been in gyms so loud at the end of a close rivalry game that the scorer/timer just couldn't hear the whistle no matter how loud we blew it. The only thing they had to go on was the raising of our hand.

This is exactly why I hate going straight to the jump ball signal instead of putting my hand in the air first.

Coaches do look for that preliminary signal, especially on a double whistle.
