Hand Mechanics for reporting fouls
Announce color first. Then number. When saying number what hand do you use? One hand to announce 2 digit number like 42 or one hand for the 4 and other hand for 2.
|
If you're strictly using NF mechanics, then numbers are reported using one hand.

The 2011-12 NFHS Basketball Guide should have put an end to this "myth."
"Use one hand to signal the number of the player that fouled." "When verbalizing a two-digit number, say the full number, not the two parts. For example, a foul on number 24 should be said, "Blue twenty-four," not Blue two-four." End of story, no? |
When in Rome, don't do as the Egyptians or something like that.
We do as the NFHS manual suggests. |
Always been taught by every supervisor to say the full number.. twenty-three as opposed two-three.

How bout we just go by the book?

Connecticut, as an IAABO state, has been using IAABO mechanics for several years now. Back when we were using NFHS mechanics, I don't recall specific direction to "say the full number not the two parts", or even the opposite of that. As a result, all of us were taught, and new officials are still taught, to verbalize the two parts of the number. When did the NFHS come up with such clear, specific hand signal directions? With such clear directions, why has this topic been debated over and over again on the Forum? The current 2012-13 IAABO mechanics guide is not as specific as the NFHS on this procedure. |
How many officials do you see point to the bench, of the team that has fouled, prior to giving the number of the player that fouled?
Is that a big deal in your area? |
Old School?

I think it should be added to the mechanics. |

It is old school...when I first started officiating all the Varsity guys would use this mechanic. Therefore, I used it. But, the mechanic became frowned on in venues where we are rated...as it was not an "approved" mechanic...so I quit using it years ago. Some very good officials around here still use it...and some of the new guys are watching them and starting to use the mechanic. I just got a email from a association member today asking me to address this issue at our next meeting. He does not want to make a "big deal" about it...but, wants some quidance. In a loud gym it can be a good mechanic...I agree...but, not "approved". What say you? ...in regards to guiding your membership. |

Without the pointy-thingy to do anymore some, like our crew, are going to the reporting-the-fouler's-number-with-the-hand-that's-on-the-side-of-the-bench-of-that-team thing for clarity's sake. |

(I saw a lot of IL officials say "blue shirt" when working games down there. I found that equally weird.) |

Appeared so ridiculous that the obvious, unnatural avoidance of his verbalization of the color of the jersey of that team attracted more attention than it really needed to. I just called it by jersey color. Didn't really matter to anyone in the whole gym but my partner that day, I guess. |

Many years ago I played in an independent tourney where both teams showed up wearing gold jerseys. Their team was all black. Our team was all white. So that's the way the officials identified us. Then and now, it seems logical and inoffensive to me.

Let's go back and forget I posted anything on the topic. :o
Seems like what I am meaning (largely what you are saying) and what is actually coming across are two very different things. |
