As someone else mentioned the "last shot" signal is unofficial but should be essential. Here we just pat our chest, how is it done in other areas?

There is always going to be someone that has a bug up someone's backside about something. That does not mean ultimately you listen to them.

I had one clinician tell me not to hold my finger up for a last second shot. Then I was told by another clinician one make sure you communicate with your partners near the end of the with a finger up. Both were NCAA tournament officials and one worked the Final Four. One assigned a college league, and both worked in the same basic conferences. I just went back to what I was doing after the one told me to do something that was never a problem.
