Two comments: first, I have heard (although not confirmed) that the full timeout signal will be arms extended in front of you outstretched similar to the double foul signal, except that the hands will be open and palm turned toward the table with the wrists kind of thrust inward toward the table. Great - just what I need - a signal that makes me look "limp wristed".
Second, re: the new ruling on 3 point shots and the post above about what if the ball bounces. As also stated above, we know that the shot ends when the ball hits the floor. A few years ago I had a play at the very end of a two point game where A1 on the trailing team shot from mid-court, the ball hit the floor at the free throw line, then during the bounce the horn sounded, then the ball went in. Coach A wanted a three to win, coach B would have settled for a two to tie (as opposed to a three) and I sent everybody home by correctly ruling it was a zero.
