Watching the end of the Indiana - Michigan State game, during a contested shot underneath, the Lead puts up his hands like a defender maintaining verticality. Seemed odd.

Maybe he was signaling "over the back!"

Nice, now we get the traveling signal for a throw in violation.

I think so. Older white guy. I'm not convinced he actually left the spot.

Love the travel call out of bounds. Rookie mistake, not a D1 official.

I'm still trying to figure out why the old lead/new trail points the other way after a made basket.

If NCAA is the same as NFHS, I saw the replay and thought the thrower kept at least one foot over the 3' DS.

That's what I thought while watching it.

IMO using approved signals/mechanics for the level one is currently working is one thing.
Signals used for non-verbal communication is another.

The game is about communication now more than ever & if we cant talk during live ball other things can be done to let one know that we heard them.

I dont care for the "get up" too much because thats telling a player what to do, but the "he's vertical, nothing there" the "directional play on point" the "no travel, he bobbled it" & the "it's a block" (clapping hands up & down after the play NOT the tipping signal during the play) are all great non-verbal communication tools! It's the same as when we nod our heads or give a thumbs up signal to coaches/players. Some things need to be addressed immediately or we'll have to sling Ts around... not that we are afraid to do that, but if we can avoid it by giving a gesture to answer a concern during live play why not do so??

I use each of those tools in the games work, yes, including HS games & it works for me. I've been told during & after games that my willingness to listen & respond is much appreciated.

I saw it too. One of the top dogs in the Big 10. Looked like he was calling a 3 pointer.

I see that mechanic used all the time in D-I and NBA games.
