Help with the proper signal

[ballgame99]

I worked a MS game the other night and had a designated throw in spot violation; the kid moved a couple large steps to his left to get the ball in bounds when he was supposed to remain stationary. What is the signal for this violation? I KNOW its not the travel signal but I used it anyway because I wasn't sure what else to do. Anyone?

He is not supposed to remain stationary, he is supposed to stay over the designated spot, big difference.

That being said if you call the violation, you signal the stop clock signal and then you point to the floor at the spot of the violation back and forth. Then you signal the direction you are going because of the violation.

For a visual sequence, Signal 2, 26 and 6 in that order (Back of rulebook).

Would it be acceptable to add #7 following #6?

If #7 is "throw in spot", then it should be added, but it's pretty obvious where it will be.

Yes, but I do not think many people will be that confused where the spot will be following the violation. And this would only matter to someone that really, really is being picky IMO.

Doing an act repeatedly, makes it become a natural act.

Practice doesnt make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect.

When explaining signals to an official (that obviously doesnt know) I think its best to give them everything.
If I were truly "being picky" then I would've said add #7 twice as the calling official indicates the throw-in spot & the administering official designates it.

That sound wonderful and do not miss the point. If you are the one putting the ball in that spot, if you call a designated spot throw in, you are mostly doing that for "show" as you will put the ball back at the very same spot. And it is only right if the people you work for cares. Next thing you will tell me you will be upset if someone gives #31 and their arm is directly in front of their body.

I understand, but thanks for pointing this out just in case. Thanks!
