Under FIBA a player control foul is signalled with one extended arm parallel to the ground, with the hand making a fist, point towards the offending team's offensive basket.

Why would you point your fist toward the offended team's offensive basket? In most cases, that will be the direction in which the offensive player was just moving. Couldn't that be very confusing? It would look like you were signaling the ball to "stay here".
Around here, after giving the PC signal, we indicate that the ball will be going "the other way"; that is, we point toward the offending team's
defensive basket. (Or toward the offended team's offensive basket.
