b. Slowly STATE the color of the shirt and the playing number of the player fouled.
c. The VISUAL signal indicating the nature of the foul is then given.
There's no need to verbalize the type of foul. The scorer couldn't care less what type of foul it is.

I totally understand your point. However, I would like to ask one question: is everything you do on the court done according to the printed rule/manual? I say that to say this:
1. Once I understood where Chuck and Rut were coming from I agreed; I have no problem with it.
2. We are talking about "push", "hand-check", "hold", etc. and you quoted a page in the manual.
While we use the rule book and manual as a guide, we do not - should not - follow it to the letter. Just my opinion and this is meant with respect and not intended to start anything.
