The "pro" move is a quick jab or tap to the elbow of the shooting arm or a quick nudge to the hip of a jumpshooter beside you. Some coaches still teach those subtle l'il moves. Reggie Miller used both of those his whole career.
A finger jab that makes a shooter on the drive's "whole body go into a minor convulsion"? Never seen that one personally. Have seen sumthin' like a quick push on the hip of the shooter by the defender just as the shooter gets airborne. I just treat the contact on that one like any other shooter contact--if I thought it affected the shot, I called the foul. If not, fuggedaboutit.
