A few notes from the pre-season tournament week. Please be aware of proper procedures for signaling fouls and violations and resuming play after such.
Please JOG to the table. Too many of us are walking to the table to report fouls.
Do not be the official below.
Professionally presenting signals is vital to the Scorer and Timer, to partner(s), to players, to coaches, to spectators and to the media.
Signals are the game’s language. One language better serves the message and our role. JOIN THE TEAM. Hurried signals, sloppy signals, incomplete signals, use of non-approved signals and non-conformity with approved signaling procedures is not the standard of an outstanding official.
