Since it was discussed in another thread that some officials don't verbalize the type of foul, wouldn't coaches, fans and players always ask what the player did to committ a foul? I'm not against doing away with signaling the type of foul, I just think all what-ifs should be looked at.
Who CARES what type of foul it is? All common fouls are penalized in the same way.

Many top officials I see don't report the nature of the foul near the end of the game when it becomes a free-throw-fest. Quick number and move into position....
OK, you are talking about obvious fouling situations where everyone knows what type of foul and why. The opponents of this change would still argue that it is communication and the coaches, players, etc. will want to know what type of foul it is.

I don't CARE what type of foul it is, but I know someone else would argue.
