Player control signal?

[upanddown]

Yep, typing from a Galaxy III leaves me to abbreviate too much. The old Lead couldn't see the punch signal. But if the NFHS signal was properly used the old Lead would be able to see the proper signal. Poor communication by calling official to insure old Lead who had the throw in spot knew what was called. When at home I can type it all out. Refs get left out of calling any state playoffs if they do not use the NFHS mechanics; its a must do issue with the DOE Sports Director here. this includes two hands being used to identify player who committed the foul. Think I'll start a new lead for this.

Still makes no sense...I doubt if the official used a player control signal that they wouldn't have missed it.

This is why I also verbalize color and location of the throw in to my partner before I report.

Use either swiping or voice to text. Both work very well and much better the typing.

I use SwiftKey 3 on my Galaxy S III. No difference in my posts from the phone and my posts on a computer.

And I don't buy it. That first post was illegible.

IMO, the call signal should have little to do, theoretically, with the non-callers (and players) knowing what's happening after the call. As Adam offered, it's all about post-call communication by the calling official. And that's a pet peeve if mine at the varsity level or above. Makes it seem like the caller is out of their depth and is too easily caught up in the moment to clearly communicate what's going on after they make a call.

So you think it is out of line to give information to a partner to get the call ultimately right? Out of bounds plays? Basket going in plays? Dead ball situations?

Again I only care about getting calls correct and if someone can give me informaiton that helps us get the call right, I am all for it. Who cares what coaches and fans think happened in that conversation?

Peace

Are you in the wrong thread?

Um... Maybe I misunderstood what I was reading earlier in the thread, but to answer your questions:
1) Not at all
2) Sure
3) Absolutely
4) Absolutely
5) No official that's any good
