"Tip" mechanic

If this had been a situation where a tip was involved, I'm sure A2 would have appreciated that information.

Camron's point is that he's better off just getting to the ball ASAP. Letting it go deep into the BC is a bad move.

This may be true. And if Camron was A2's coach, he can have that discussion. But, it doesn't negate the fact that it is information that might be useful to the players and coaches as well as the officials.

I hope they're not stopping to see where I am to see if I'm signaling before they go play the ball. If they do that, they're probably getting beat to the ball.
