AFAIK, it isn't too difficult to give a team control foul signal (fist up to stop the clock, then punch in the direction where the fouling team came from). |
Easy. There are signals like arm-bar (which you referenced), hooking, not vertical signal, walling up, two-hands or hit on the arm.
Also, a lot of people do not give the team control foul in the proper sequence or do not give the preliminary at all when they make such a call.

I might go to college-specific tryout camps in the future, when I have varsity games under my belt.

All camps are try-outs for someone. All camps teach things too. There is no one versus the other that I can tell. The level might affect how much those things apply, but you can learn and try out all at the same time.
