Point or No Point?
 

Just curious, when you T someone up, do you point at them after you make the T signal or not?

Is it considered too "showy" to point?

I only point to the coach or bench if I call a T, but do not know necessarily if that is a good or bad thing. It just something I do when I report to the table. Otherwise I do not "think" I point at the player on the court as usually I do not get tape of these situations.

Peace

If I pointed every time I issued a T, my arm would have to go into rehab.:rolleyes:

Occassionally. Situational.

Hells yeah, but first I windmill! Left hand swing . . . . right hand swing . . . then gently touch right hand fingers to left hand palm. WHACK! ::p,

I rarely call T's and believe it or not am expecting one tomorrow night. Don't want to hijack, but do you always whistle before whacking?

I do the Salvatore.

"Are you done?"

...waits...

"T... on him."

:D:D:D nuff said.

I don't point. Could add it to my tool box, though.

Do you whisltle, always?

For unsporting and sub Ts, yes. Administrative, not always.

OK, then do you windmill? That's my favorite part! :p

Well of course. It's no fun without the windmill.

If it's a group of players then I will point out the culprit(s). But if it's obvious to all in the gym then I don't.

They're not talking about tilting at windmills...

As BNR says, I point if it is not obvious. I've found usually it is obvious.

I've said that before posting certain pictures too. ;)

I rarely point, because as Welpe mentioned, it's usually obvious.

Interesting. I guess I don't point for the same reason I don't bird dog. I'm not really concerned whether it's obvious or not, because I'll be telling the only people that matter in a few seconds anyway.

I just like to see the guilty party throw up his hands in disbelief faster.

That way the tape will back you up on the 2nd? :D

Probably just as good a reason.

Yeah, it's very much a personal choice.

True.

I don't believe there's a specific mechanic mentioned in the manual, right?

Not that I'm aware of.

Tape don't lie. :cool:

So...no citation?

I'm not from Jersey, but:

I got your citation, right here!

:D

Next Time, I'll Pay Attention ...
 

I'm not sure that I even put up the "foul fist" when I charge a technical foul on either a player, or a coach, I just blow my whistle and give the "T" signal. In fact, I'm not even sure that I blow my whistle most of the time. Now, where are my house keys?
