Player control signal?
When I call a player control foul, what should I do with the other hand? It feels weird to just let it dangle, and it is hard to be emphatic about placing your signalling hand and arm behind your head. It has no oomph. I have resorting to doing a pseudo team control-punch with the other hand. Is this wrong? Is there a better alternative?

I know this is not by the book, but everywhere I have been the custom (among officials, not hardline evaluators) is just to do the punch for an offensive foul at the time of calling, regardless of type.
Then when reporting, just the hand behind head and verbalizing player-control if that is what the particular call was. |
I don't even use the player control signal...at the spot nor at the table. It might be one of the weakest officiating signals in all of sport. I use the team control punch.

If one hand is behind my head the other one is pointing the direction we will now be going.

I had a PC last night. Just came out with the punch. When I reported, used the PC signal. I rarely go behind the head on the initial play anymore.

I put one hand behind my head and use the other to point to a hot mom in the bleachers. My partners really appreciate it. :)
