For example: How do you signal for the bonus (1&1) when you are the Lead and your hands are full with the ball?

As already said by others I announce 1&1 but I hold the
ball in 1 hand & signal the 1&1 with the other hand using
the index finger & pinky. I'm not sure if the hand signal
helps but it's never confused anyone.

Also, I know the book says not to signal on a made two point field goal...but in my experience it is a lot less confusing for the score keepers, coaches, and fans if you signal two on a made two-point field goal that was close to the 3 point line. (Not proper mechanics though)

If I see the shooter on the line I'll point at the line
while the shot is going up and keep pointing for a second
or 2 if it goes in. If he's clearly inside the arc I'll
just do nothing. I don't give the "2" signal.
