Let's be happy there aren't 85 (or more) signals. We'd have R's looking like third base coaches!

I see the NCAA signal for tripping is the same as in Canada. I've had to signal that penalty once as the Referee. I thought I was going to fall and break my neck.

See if you can find Ben Dreith and ask him about proper announcements. He'll give you the good scoop.

REPLY: If I remember correctly, when Dreith gave his now famous "givin' him the business" announcement, he accompanied it with a rather unorthodox signal too, didn't he?

Right - I was trying to figure out why I'd never heard of this. Then I realized - I was nine years old at the time and had barely started watching football.
