Suplimental Signals

What I take issue with is using a signal prescribed by the manual for something that it's not intended for. Fists crossed over chest is double stakes, nothing else. Rolling fists between the U & R should be for protecting the snapper, not a non-kicking situation.

If appears you are new to officating and even this board. The above two officials communications signals are used totally differently if your game is NF vs NCAA. So while you can take issue, be careful who you take issue with. This is not just an NCAA only nor NF only place to discuss rules and mechanics. Many posters here work high school games under NCAA rules as that's what their state allows.

Besides many rule differences, there are many mechanics differences as well.
