One and one signal

[ballgame99]

does no one verbalize a "play it off the rim" or "rest on the first"?

I use the, "Hold the ball between your hands and raise both index fingers" method as well. However, I also look to the table as I'm backing out to my position under the basket and signal to them that we have a one and one situation with my two index fingers raised. This does show up well on video.

EDIT: HawkeyeCub beat me to it!

+1 That will definitely show up!

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

bounce ball and drop my whistle as I don't use a lanyard, and signal. I then juggle to catch both ball and whistle, hopefully both on first bounce.

Nope...the less you say the better off you will be.

Holy heck, that's a pet peeve of mine. And I feel a thread hijack coming on. One that I'll be fighting not to join in on repeatedly.

"1"
"2"
"3"
or
"1 and 1"
Nice and (appropriately) loud. That's it.

I use to do index fingers out while holding the ball. I did not like the way it looked on video.

I have now switched to bouncing the ball and signaling. I still back out and show 1-1 to the table. I usually say either "bonus 1 and 1" or "1 and 1".

I have found this new method, hard as hell to get use to. Either my cordination I crappy as I get older, or it's always been crappy

I will give it the whole summer to get better at it though, if it's not better by next winter, I will consider switching back.

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..."

I think I will go with the bounce, 1 and 1 signal plus verbalization, catch, administer, back out of the key and signal 1 and 1 to the table. Another minor detail, what are your opinions on 1 and 1 signal in front or with arms straight out to the side with one finger up on each hand. I have seen both.

Has this ever really been an issue?

Wow, now I've got another thing to work on.

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.

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"
