In my area we use the player control signal only for player control fouls.

Other fouls which happen to be a team control foul still get the proper signal, (push,hold,block) and point the other way, usually with "that way" or similar to help convey direction. Sometimes the initial signal is foregone and the fist and direction is only used (usually simultaneously), but at the table the proper signal is displayed.

I don't care what fans think...but the only time I had to explain a situation was when a foul was called during a throw in and the coach wanted to know why we were shooting the 1 and 1, because she knew the rule (or rather "a" rule) had been changed but wasn't aware of the team control concept during a throw in for FED, which we all know is different than NCAA, which is what you see on TV.

I told her there is no team control during a throw in, she seemed a bit perplexed but didn't put up any argument.

Edited for spelling.
