Player Raising His/Her Hand When They Commit a Foul

No it wasn't. It was a phantom rule, only enforced by relic officials who never bothered to read about rule changes.

If that's true, then every single official that did our JV games that year was a relic official. In fact, the requirement to raise a hand was brought up in every captain's meeting that year. Maybe it was just a conference or area thing.

Your team had a T in every game?

I played high school ball (in Iowa) up until the 91-92 season; it was not a requirement then. I first started officiating in the 93-94 season, and while I was by no means an expert (I convinced a partner that the coach could choose any player to shoot FTs when his shooter was injured), I'm pretty sure this wasn't in there.

In my playing days, I recall hearing that the rule was no longer in effect but some officials still enforced it (for whatever reason).

...does anyone remember the table crew having five numbered (1-5) ping pong type paddles? Bookkeeper/clock operator would hold up the respective numbered paddle to indicate # of fouls on that particular player after official reported.

Was that ever a requirement, or just something some tables did? I've also seen tables with light standards, and they'd light up the appropriate number.
