RE: Whats the deal with the clap snap?
I guess no one wants to discus this

I noticed Texas was using 3 fast claps to signal the snap while others were using a single clap

Is it easier for the offense to hear a single clap versus a vocal hut ?

I was wondering that myself ... The only reason I can think of, is that with so many teams calling plays at the line, audibles, protections, etc.; that one way to distinguish those from a true snap count is to use the clap(s) as an indicator that the actual snap count has started (similar to baseball indicator signs) ...

Good job basketball. New and innovative ways to be more annoying.

on a slap count, there is a silent count between the slap of the hands and the snap, like 1001, snap.
