I would love to get an interpretation of this "mechanic" from Peter Webb, the IAABO "international" interpreter. Last season he observed all the state finals, boys, and girls, eight games, here in Connecticut, where three two is the "law of the land". He had a lot of constructive criticism for our guys: calling outside of primary coverage areas, passing on free throw violations, hit and run reporting of fouls, not using the stop clock signal, and not visibly showing all counts that need to be visible, but he didn't mention our guys reporting the numbers incorrectly.
Our interpreter was on the NFHS rules committee for 4 years. I would say that would be a good way to go. I went to an IAABO camp in 2007. CT guys I worked with got dinged for pointing to the floor on a 2 that was near the arc. And Peter Webb didn't want any talking guys out of the lane, either. "Thirty-two" is a number. "Three. Two." is two numbers. But, do what you are told. Just don't assume it is that law of the land. Even in IAABOLand.

Yeah. It's not an "approved" IAABO signal. It's a "Connecticut Only" signal. Been that way for many years. I guess that we're all mavericks here in the Constitution State.
