In the event of any miscommunication between players/coaches & officials, this method doesnt really show up well on video.

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.

So you just say 9 dash 1 dash 4.. And then bounce the ball?

1 - On tape is it possible to see the difference between an official signaling 1 or 2 throws with one hand? It seems as if most videos are filmed from the last row of the stands and are zoomed out so one can see about half of the court at one time so there would be no way to tell how many fingers the official is holding up.

2 - Miscommunications also occur when an official signals the correct number of throws yet says the wrong number. There is no way that will show up on the video tape.

It seems as if a lot of people on this forum are overly concerned with video tapes not being able to prove that they didn't make a mistake. If someone thinks you made a mistake then it is up to them to actually show the mistake. If you said and signaled the correct number of throws then you have nothing to worry about, the video will not disprove you. You don't need to worry that maybe your signal didn't show up on the video.

Well you must be pretty bad if you do it every time.

Outside of your bubble officials sometimes say one number and signal a different number. Sometimes the official says and signals the correct number but a player believes the official said a different number.
