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."

The preliminary signal used by the NBA is superior in my opinion than the signal for high school and college. If the shooter's foot is one the line I will signal two while they are shooting.
I don't hate the "tip" signal because there is no such signal.
The "not" closely guarded signal is OK I guess.
I was taught by my mentors to say the color instead of "that way" or "stay here." KISS
