It can be. Just because there is a specific signal to stop the clock for a held ball does not mean we need to use that signal.

I could do the hokey pokey to stop the clock, too. It would be just as wrong to do so on a held ball as raising an open hand.

That might work, assuming you whistle too :)

I prefer the Joey Crawford shuffle.

Not specifically, although that GIF makes me laugh every time I see it.

You have to watch him work a game to appreciate it. He tends to shuffle his way from place to place.

Glad I could make you laugh :)

I made some officiating image macros (pictures with funny text) a few months ago....has anyone ever made a thread for them?

Our practice around here is to blow the whistle and take several steps toward the action (moving in to prevent continued jostling about) before giving the jump ball signal. This gives us a few seconds to see if our partners have something different.
If your partners have something different then you figure it out. If I have a held ball and my partner has a foul, figured out which came first.

I am going to disagree here. Signals are part of the rule book. It states that a fist is to be used for a foul, a palm for a violation or other timeout, and the held ball signal to stop the clock for a held ball.

It is pretty clear.
