One and one signal

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.

If you're talking about the outside official (T in 2-person or C in 3-person), technically speaking, I believe, the first is an NCAAW signal, the other is the high school/NCAAM signal. To my knowledge, none of the three actually speak to whether or not to show and/or how to show to the table after the L backs out.

I'm not real proud of it...but, I do say "let it hit". I never say..."rest on the first one". Just "2" if there are 2 shots.

I don't say "let it hit the rim" and I used to say "let it hit something"...so I have shortened it somewhat. I think the verbalization just shows the players that I'm watching for early entry into the lane.

For 1 and 1...I hold the ball in one hand, and raise both hands with one finger on each hand extended. Maybe not the best way...but, that's how I do it.

I then, of course, back out...looking at the table...with my signal- 1 and 1, 1, 2, or 3 shots.

Hook 'em Horns while torquing my wrist back and forth and loudly verbalizing 1 and 1. Each index finger high up in the air toward table once I get back to the endline.

Used to do the index fingers up while the ball bounces but some clinician I respected thought I should change it so I did.

FWIW, it's a (slight) negative here for L to signal to the table. That's C's (or T's in 2 person) job.

Sometimes, I say "let it hit," or "watch your toes" (in lower level games when I see a need), but not as often as I used to. Now that I think of it, I can't remember saying it this season in a game higher than middle school.

Good point Bob. Thanks.

+1 Then, I bounce the ball to the shooter, and show the two index fingers, as I back out of the lane.

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 usually put the ball between my knees and squeeze hard to keep it there. This allows me to both verbal and visual the one and one signal with no problem. Also gives kind of a suzanne somers workout for my thighs during the game.

You just have to know when to assume. It's more of an art than a science.
