By the way, I point with my right hand.

I'm sure you mean "Pard-ner" as everyone is quite aware you're not asking the coach or F3 for a ruling

Meanwhile, as a matter of habit, I never use my right hand to "point" to/at anyone.

Not critiquing the NCAA signal for those of you calling their games...

But the ASA signal is NOT a point to the right or a DDB sign given with the right arm. If you use the right signals, then you leave nothing to confusion.

What does that mean??? NCAA signals are essentially the same as ASA.

Not that it matters a hill of beans, but I really do miss the old, "DID SHE GO?"

I've always learned "pointing with left, with mask in hand "
