If this is the case, I think you would insist on calling "by the book," including standard signals and reporting. It's not really a matter of if you like it that way, but if you conform to what's expected (by those who know proper mechanics).
My pet peeves (for HS games):
The three point signal (who signals when and how) with the added unnecessary "two point signal."
The "tip" signal.
The "wider than 6 feet closely guarded" signal.
Instead of pointing and stating "Blue," yelling some nonsense like "stays here," "going the other way," or
"off Red."
