Tip of the Week
Signals – Signals are to be used to communicate – not to draw attention to the official. Don’t be over emphatic when signaling rulings regarding timeout request; blocking or charging fouls; team control fouls; good goal as in continuous motion/act of shooting situations, etc. These are not special situations. They are simply another ruling that you have made. React professionally and demonstrate composure.
