For the very reason you describe I do not use the tip or brushing of the hands signal. The only time is if I know there was a tip and my partner has looked to me for help on an out of bounds play. If my partner doesn't ask but then signals direction of play to be opposite of what I think it should be, I'll blow my whistle and confer with my partner by asking did you see the tip by B1? If my partner says no, then I say that B1 tipped the ball and I let my partner change the call (it looks like we talked about it and got it right). The reason I ask whether my partner saw the tip rather than tell him/her is that he/she may very well have seen a second tip that I didn't see before the ball went OOB. I try not to come in like that unless I truly believe my partner missed the tip that I saw. There is almost nothing worse than seeing a foul committed and then seeing your partner doing the brushing act.
