It's also made no sense to me that a no brainier signal like a trip or a hit to the head hasn't been added.

I'm in full agreement. I think the NFHS wants to keep it basic for new officials, plus they seem to have this belief that table personnel are idiots who need to be coddled with simplicity (which is usually not true).

In deference to new officials, I don't terribly mind keeping the official signals limited, but from an evaluation, clinic or camp standpoint, please don't downgrade me if I communicate more effectively using two fingers and advanced signals. That's when this issue starts to irk me.

What signal do you use when reporting to the table that the free throw shooter will be shooting 1-and-1?

I haven't used that one (that I think you're referring to, anyway) since the 1990s.

One of my supervisors sent out something about a correctable caused by miscommunication between officials and the table. So I'm wondering what most folks do before I go into the story.

Index finger on each hand.

A two-handed "11".
