Handling the ball for 1-and-1 administration?
What do you do with the ball when administering a 1-and-1?
I do the first. Quite frankly, it doesn't really matter.
I usually verbalize, loudly, "1 and 1" while holding the ball.
"1 & 1!" Bounce the ball and signal as the ball is enroute.
It makes no difference because there's always going to be at least one player who turns and asks, "How many, ref?"
No signal......say loudly "Bonus....one and one". An official I thought highly of once said "there is no way of doing the hand signal gracefully with the ball, so don't do it. If the players don't know what one and one means, they shouldn't be at this level".
official I thought highly of once said "there is no way of doing the hand signal gracefully with the ball,..."
Which is why I do it as the ball is passed to the shooter.
I say single bonus gentlemen. Ball is live on the miss.
Nope, it's live when caught by the shooter and remains live during the entire FT. Stop saying incorrect information.
I say single bonus gentlemen.
And how do the girls react to that?
Bounce the ball to the shooter, then immediately signal and say "one and one!" before the ball is caught.
This is exactly how I do it.
+1 and say one and one!
