You have an "off the bag" signal?

But she had the presence of mind to tag the BR just before the BR touched, and I almost missed it because I was too intent on seeing F3's foot. So I did an "Off the Bag, Point, Call 'Tag', then Punch" mechanic that you won't find in any Umpire Manual. It was awful.

How about, "On the tag, out" with a nice sell out and a point if you believe it is necessary?
