Mechanics Question

[Camron Rust]

Never heard of such a thing.

The ONLY official mechanic which is related to using a specific hand relative to the division line is when the trail (2-man) is counting 10 seconds on a FT and chopping time in on a FT.

Sounds like someone found something they do and tried to put that off on everyone else.

I am still trying to make sure my 3 attempt signal is with my "trail" hand, but sometimes it just doesn't happen that way. I don't beat myself up about it, however, I am doing it *most* of the time. Sounds like a "try this because it works for me" suggestion.

I'm a lefty and so I stop/start the clock with that hand. It took some time to get used to making my right hand signal a three point attempt if the situation called for it. You'll get it. Don't think about it, it'll happen naturally.

I always stop the clock with my right hand. I've tried to get myself to use my left hand when appropriate, but I haven't been successful yet.

Three point attempts I signal with... ummm.... whatever hand I was counting with at the time. I think. I really haven't thought about it.

The tip I got from one of my association clinicians... when counting in the backcourt, use the "outside" arm. That way the counting hand doesn't impact your vision.

I do that but clinicians have suggested to use the arm/hand closest to the table. Naaaaah, I use outside arm.
As for reporting fouls. Come to a complete stop. Use 1 hand. Verbally report the whole number to the person at the table wearing the striped shirt . Give the same hand signal when you called the foul. Indicate free throws and then briskly move to your position.
DO NOT twist NOR pulse/pump the hand for the 2nd number!
