Do you agree with the above statement JR?
I give the crossed arm over the head signal (intentional foul signal)when I'm reporting this type of foul, why not?
Otherwise the foul could be mistaken for unsportsmanlike conduct...just a thought.

Imo, you're both right- and it's not a big deal. An intentional technical foul called for dead-ball contact can be called just a plain ol' normal T, by the terminology in the rule book. You can use either,but there really is no advantage or disadvantage involved in using one over the other when you are reporting. They're basically both the same in all aspects. If you do use the crossed arms, you are still completely correct according to the rules, though. I think that what Camron is saying is that most officials,unless it's flagrant,will just call the T and let it go at that,without bothering to go through the extra signalling,etc. Calling it just a plain ol' T seems to be the standard procedure used in most area,from what I've personally seen.
