I think it communicates to the players, coaches, table & fans what can & cant be done once the player has the ball.

So you are telling me that if a designated spot violation takes place, players, coaches, table and fans are going to be confused on that specific spot after the violation? Really? you realize I am talking about this specific situation, not every other foul or violation or dead ball situation? So yes you are probably right as it relates to the book, but you are not necessarily right as to what someone would be confused by. If they are that confused, they probably have not watched many basketball games in their life.

OK, who cares about IAABO? I do not belong to IAABO or work for any group that has anything to do with IAABO. And don't IAABO have different mechanics than the NF?

And I am a certified clinician in my state and if someone did not point after doing all the other mechanics properly and in order, I probably would not notice or care to mention it in an evaluation either way. There are other things that I am sure I would have noticed and that would be extremely minor and picky to me to mention. Usually there are so many other things that need attention and this is not high on the list. I cannot speak for others, but something tells me they would hardly not say anything either.
