15C.3 Referees' Signals
Referees should use the hand signals in Appendix A of the FIBA rules. In addition, the following hand signals may be used.
Unmounted play: Straight arm, with the hand in front of the hips. The palm is facing the floor and simulates a sweeping (wrist move).
Rolling the ball on floor: One vertically rotating fist, below the waist.
Ball pick-up interference: Both arms parallel pointing down to the side, with hand palms facing each other.
Referees should try to always use the appropriate signals, especially in international competitions. In any case, referees should at least use the appropriate signals for interrupting the game (one arm raised, with open palm for a violation or with a clenched fist for a foul), and then for indicating the direction of play (point in direction of play, arm parallel to sidelines).
Ideally, we should add the corresponding three images.
Body
Three new hand signals are introduced.
So far, we failed to produce adequate images corresponding to these new signals.
