They should be clear to everyone, leaving no question as to the call being made. Currently all of our sports have a unique set of signals to communicate and keep the game moving at a good pace. This changed in the late 1800’s when a deaf player by the name of William Hoy convinced baseball umpires to use hand signals as a means of communicating balls, strikes and outs at the bases. Our American game of baseball was played for years without any signals. Without these basic signals, made in a clear and timely manner, our games would have no continuity or flow. The out and safe signals in baseball sets the stage for the situation to be faced by the next batter. In basketball and soccer, the signal made by the referee following a ball out of bounds instructs the players how and where to proceed with getting the ball back into play. The first down signal in football lets everyone know that the offense will be awarded four more downs in their attempt to advance the ball for a score. Good, clear signals create flow to a game. The value of good signals should never be underestimated. When a referee or umpire makes a call in applying a rule, nothing happens until a signal is made. In any game situation, the players, coaches, fans, scorers and fellow referees need to understand the call. Signals are a referee’s way to communicate. However, almost as important to good officiating is the use of clear, confident signals.
