If you'd rather leave the approved signal ambiguous as to the specific violation, fine. I wouldn't.

Jesse, if you have a rulebook, please look at NFHS signal #25. If not, you can view the signal at
http://www.nfhs.org/
The description under the signal says "free throw,
designated spot, or other violation". You blow your whistle on any violation. You stop the clock with a raised, open hand as per signal #2. You then point from side-to-side as per signal #25. It's been that way since I can remember, and I go back to 1959.
There is no ambiguity with the correct signal.
