JMO, Z-man, but sometimes it's just not necessary. If A1 drives to the basket and is fouled in the act of shooting, does it really matter if it's a block, a push, or a "hack"? Everybody in the building knows that the shooter was fouled, and nobody cares what you call it. In those cases, I usually will just give the fist and then give a signal at the table. That's just me, and I know it's not exactly by the book, but I'm comfortable with it. If you don't need to communicate anything, then why bother? Again, that's just me.

Communication
I can think of lot's of reasons, but mainly for my partners. If they're doing they're job, they weren't watching my primary. Now they know what I called.
It often matters to the coaches. "Hey ref, what did your partner just call, it looked clean to me?" "He called a block coach."

Giving the prelim foul signal is not the same as telling your partner what happens with the ball next. In fact, I would much rather know where the ball is going, who gets it, are we shooting, rather than know *what* the foul is.
I'm not all that concernd with dealing with the coaches in this sitch.
