TIL High school and college basketball players are forbidden from wearing jerseys with the numbers 6-9 on them bc refs need to be able to signal their numbers with one hand.

They aren’t ever allowed to wear jerseys with those numbers. Even outside of the game. The refs will jump out of the bushes and lay a smack down on them
In Amercan Sign Language you can count to 10 with one hand. Why not adopt it?
Ngl, I thought you were saying number “69”, and I thought it was pretty funny. Still an interesting fact though!
I was taught to signal numbers from 6-10 by doing the usual 1-5 but turned with your fingers horizontal.
Nice
Especially 69
There has to be a gesture refs could do with one hand and the numbers 6 and 9… I just know it…
So how do they signal 10 and up on one hand?
TIL that I learned this 25 years ago
