Is this taught in camp?

Now that I see the reasoning, I will not attempt this method.

Until you get where you're going, that is

Once you get there you can do whatever you want! I'm sure you've noticed no stop clock for OOB?

John Adams does not like this practice and he has pointed it out on NCAA videos.

I saw it cause a problem in a NIT final about 5 years ago involving South Carolina.

Every college assignor and evaluator (camp or game) I've ever heard talk about the trail actually "trailing" the dribbler up the backcourt has said to do just that, as well.

Yep. We teach that TRAIL MEANS TRAIL. Stay behind the action, especially on inbound plays/ dribbling in the back court.

I've noticed this from lots of our esteemed referee's.

Don't do college ball, but I thought the "stop clock" is not an NCAA mechanic?

Yeah he's making reference to college officials who work high school games and how they just point, instead of stopping the clock first then open hand point.

Yeah thats what I was "told" too, then I got my head in the CCA manual. Low & behold, NCAA-W dont require the stop clock signal just as the League doesnt.

Negative, just talking about implementing things we see on tv in our HS games.

Hell, I did what you're talking about in front of JD twice Tuesday night :-(
In post game he didnt even mention it, but I apologized to him anyway. He said "yeah, I know you do other stuff but get it together before post-season." Did I do it purposely? No.
But working other games Fri-Sun led me to accidently just point. He also said it looked like I wanted to report 2 handed the entire 1st Q.

In the big tourney, they want guys with great judgement who work from jump ball to last whistle. If you happen to point instead of stop clock, that can be overlooked.

For me, they don't know me, I gotta do it by the book, I haven't earned crap yet. So I gotta earn it.
