Usually a block. Could be a hold, a push, or a PC foul.

Since I'm on the subject about mechanics, what signal is used when a jump ball violation is called? IS there one? For example, I've just blown the whistle to indicate play is about to start. While in the process of tossing the ball but before it leaves my hand, A1 moves in front of B1. This is a violation. B1 should get the throw-in and the AP set toward A's basket when the ball is made available to team B. What's the appropriate mechanics for this and similar jump ball situations?
Thanks!
P.S. I'm a rookie and my first game is this Saturday!

Blow the whistle, explain what happened, inbound the ball.
