"This signal increases the official's ability to communicate with the players, coaches and fans on critical plays." (period) Right. What you said and the NFHS statement above is sufficient. To me, the rest of the verbiage is what I felt to be weak. |

I've seen it in HS varsity. And to the point of letting the clock run, I've seen it work. Why not get 3-4 more seconds off the clock with a 4 point lead with 30 seconds to go. But if they knew they could pick it up, they would. I don't like that advantage.

IMO - under the pressure of a game situation, I don't think a lot of players are that "basketball smart."

Do you tell them what the count is or yell pass it when you get to 4?

I've seen it too. Either this past season or in '11-12 I had a BV player ask me whether he could touch the ball as he was running into the backcourt. The kid let it keep rolling since I didn't answer him...and let the defender pick up the ball. After his coach yelled at him he said "but the ref didn't tell me whether I could pick it up!" Happily, his coach told him he should have picked it up regardless.

Do you yell out "tipped ball"?

Fair enough. Let me rephrase....
When you count, to you indicate the count you are on with your fingers so they can see how far into the count you are?

I think this is a whole bunch ado about nothing. Most times the tip signal is given immediately as information to whomever is looking. It's not like we're continously giving the signal until the ball is recovered or like a player turns to us as the ball is rolling away then we give the signal in response.

I agree...there was no problem that needed fixing. The only thing that I take issue with is the NFHS's stated purpose that it is intended to communicate to the players...not that they'll actually be able to see it and use the info. It just doesn't make sense.
