Directional Signal

Five fingers for the violation,
Four for the direction,
Two for the spot.

I try to use that.

Have I misremembered?

No, you misremembered correctly..

Please note that this is not an official NFHS signal. I'm pretty sure that it's not an official IAABO signal either.

I use that for the "and 1" signal. Similar to my One and One signal

I use two to point the direction and one the indicate the spot. Works for me and accepted locally.

Is for pouring bourbon.

One finger for indicating the spot. And not the finger BillyMac is hinting at.

That must be a local difference. Here, it's the 5-4-2 grunewar mentioned for FED, and 5-2-1 for NCAAW (and 0-2-1 on OOB violations)

1 finger for all points and 4 fingers for spots.

Generally, I'm 4 fingers direction and 1 finger spot.
