Snaqs I've been taught not to trouble trouble.

Okay, that's my philosophy, too. I've never had anything but trouble from offering information that wasn't requested. That's my main issue with this "signal," though, is that when I see it used, it's offered both too quickly and without any request for information.

Concur, I usually see it in lower level games & in the off-season. But they dont usually use the "gator chomp" its usually the communication tool for a tipped ball at the moment the blocked shot occurs... and thats when I come over the top with a foul. j/k

I'll duck #1 since I'm NCAAW and this sounds like an NCAAM sort of question. NCAAW are, IMO, a bit more stringent on screens because that game is played below the rim, so screens in general have a bigger effect.

I work the Women's side and concur with the above...

I have worked with a partner who does the "gator chomp" mechanic about 15 times per game and I never use it once.. I think that is kind of strange.

Had a chance to use it last night in a ms game. Coach never asked why there wasn't a foul, though, so I didn't bother.

Gator Chop......

Used it a lot when I ws in hs school and I thought I was somebody.....further I moves up the ladder (DII &DIII) it has dissapeared. Why stick out and use an unauthorized mechanic, especially if you are with that guy who calls every 50/50 that you pass on. We all know who that guy is our leagues

Hey, it needed calling. He got slapped on the wrist on his way by. They might need those free throws later.
