incomplete pass signal

I call the touchdown signal above the "Roller Coaster". It looks like he is on the top of a hill ready to speed down and through a corner.

One thing that I personally think looks bad is when we hold our arms up for an extended length on incomplete passes. Like for a USC foul or something, just looks bad.

Something else, why would you give the stop the clock signal in addition to the incomplete signal? Do you do the same on touchdowns? Touchdown first then stop the clock? Just curious.

Good point, I don't do this but I know some people do. Incomplete is the signal which kills the clock so we don't need a stop the clock. As LJ I always give stop the clock on incomplete passes when I am not giving the incomplete pass. I think this makes it easier for the clock operator because I'm on his side. But I do think signaling incomplete then stop the clock looks dumb and its just redundant.

our high school mechanic is for officials not calling the incomplete pass to give the stop the clock signal. is is for the benefit of the clock operator who may not be in a position to see the incomplete pass signal.
