Mechanics Question

[billyu2]

In our area, most have been taught not to use the "block" or "push" signal.
Fist (obviously) then TC signal in the direction play will be going. Many will verbalize "illegal screen" as well.
Then we indicate the throw-in spot. If you have/use the NFHS Officials Manual you can find this on 3.4.2B p.69.

Me personally:

Fist up...punch the other way while verbalizing "illegal screen." At the table, color, number, illegal screen (while giving a block signal), then team control signal.

When in doubt, follow a moderator! This is also the mechanic that I use.

Actually the NF sequence is everything you said, but after the "punch" you give the preliminary signal of the type of foul. If an illegal screen and block is what you want to use, then you use that signal. Then you go tot he table as suggested.

I know I may not go through all that process, but that is the official sequence.

Agree.

Also, since many of these illegal screens are away from the ball, I will often use the optional "bird dog" signal.

Don't forget to point to the spot where the ball will be inbounded.

This is how I was taught except instead of "illegal screen", we were taught to say "offense".

I'll say "Illegal Screen" when I give the block signal.

Sorry, I meant when making the initial call. I agree, "illegal screen" at the table while reporting.

I'm pretty sure both the IAABO and NFHS manuals still say to verbalize the color and number of the fouler at the spot. Which would logically go after "illegal" verbal at the spot, I think.

Can honestly say I've never verbalized color and number at the spot of the foul. I'd guess that portion of the mechanics would be an area thing as far as following it.
