Well, it's completely different from my 2-shot or 1-shot signal.

Nope. The less said, the better, imo. No "bonus", "double bonus" (there's no such thing, btw), "let it hit", "gentlemen", "ladies", "basket was good..."

The only time I add such extra info is when I work a level that has players that just don't know what is going on....and technically hitting ANYTHING is adequate, not just the rim. So, "Let it hit" is sufficient and more accurate.

I've heard some partners say "let it hit." I don't use it.

On one-and-one, I do make a point of saying "one-and-one...ball is LIVE"

YMMV

I think it does if you do it right. And add the same both index finger signal toward the table after you back out.

+1 That will definitely show up!

Yup!

What if it hits the backboard first?
We dont coach.

Great thread. I usually verbalize "Bonus 1 and 1" But know I should subtract one of these. Should I just say the word "Bonus" or go with "1 and 1"

Has this ever really been an issue?

Had a situation a few seasons ago where I said 1 & 1, while holding the ball & indicating as others have stated. The defenders were the only ones to move on the miss & the shooting teams players/coach swore I said 2. Unfortunately the single camera shot was from opposite table, so when I backed out, that didnt show up either.

Thats all, just a negative personal experience.

Try having the free throw shooter hold the camera.

When administering a one and one, I quote 9-1-4 verbatim. None of this "hit the rim" nonsense. Too vague.
