I used it once in a scimmage, and was "yelled" at by the umpire because "we don't use it in high school ball."
That being said, I like those types of signals. If there is a pass over the middle that is close, the catch signal can communicate with fellow officials and the fans that you definitely have a catch.
Also in communicating with the fans, things such as the "bobble" signal or the "out of bounds" signal (what NCAA officials use to indicate that a FG went wide) can be helpful so the fans know why the pass was incomplete. Anyway, just my opinion on the subject.

Sounds like the type of U that signals a TD.

At the risk of offending Snake~eyes, the U is too busy eating his snickers to signal TD (yeah, that a lame, worn out shot at umpires). Plus, umpires aren't supposed to do that high school ball.

They aren't supposed to do it anywhere. My point was this sounds like a guy who's really good at telling everyone ELSE what to do.
