From the crowd?

Someone said something, but I couldn't make it out.

I'm still not sure exactly what happened here. If the coach was looking elsewhere, and honestly didn't see what the call was, I have no problem with answering his question "Was that a three?" with a simple shake of the head, if it's convenient as I pass. If I know that he did see the signal, and then asks, I wouldn't acknowledge the question.

The problem wasn't with him asking the question. I don't doubt that his attention was elsewhere when I signaled two as the shot was in flight.

The problem was with him asking the crowd across the gym if it was a three, AFTER I had answered his question.

Also not worthy of your attention, in my opinion.

Apparently, you didn't pay attention to that part of the story.

You don't point two fingers at the floor when a jump shooter steps on the three point line as he releases the shot?

That is a very common mechanic when the shot is rather close. I would rather you do that than not do anything and only have the table complain later that they did not know and cause more confusion. Some officials feel we should not do this and they have a point, but if the table is totally clueless (which they often are) this tells everyone what you have. Again, only on really close shots is this even necessary.

Peace

I don't? We don't? Who says? It's an "approved" mechanic here in IAABO Connecticut, the entire state, not just in my little corner.
