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

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?

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.
