Style is great, I agree officials should have a personality and not be robots on the floor, but wow!

A few of these league-wide each season should be ok.

From USAToday - Chris Strauss:
NBA referee Joey Crawford has never been afraid to draw attention to himself when making a call, as evidenced by this blocking foul against Los Angeles Lakers guard Chris Duhon in Tuesday night's game versus Indiana. The Pacers won 79-77 despite a 40-point night from Kobe Bryant, but clearly Crawford was the star of the game. Nuf Sed

OHSAA has told us explicitly NOT to do this mechanic.

Fist on hips for a block? You won't find me donig it any other way (save for the theatrics shown here). The "by the book way" IMO is a weak signal (that and the PC signal).

The hands on hips is a weak mechanic. So is the hand behind the head on a PC foul. A crisp punch in the other direction is a much stronger call. I had a block on a drive down the lane last night. Big collision, both players on the floor. I probably didn't ham it up as much as Crawford, but I remember banging the hips twice, saying, "Block, Block." There's nothing wrong with selling a close one. On the video shown, it seems to me like he's overselling one that he probably got wrong. |

I had a supervisor tell me that the 'open-hand to waist' block signal for a man of my size looked very.....un-masculine (to keep things PC).

I hear that opinion a lot, and then no one hardly says a word when done on a call. Like others said I would do the same as Joey other than the running half way up the court or the frequency, but the fist part would be done the exact same. I do not have the time to fix my hands in a way where they can be open and touch my hips.
Peace

Just want to state that this isn't par for any signaling in the NBA or Joe Crawford
