Type of foul (block, hold, push, etc.)
Point to inbound location and point direction.
Reporting to the table:
Report color & number of player that committed foul
Team control signal, fist straight out in front
Indicate color & point direction ball is going.
I also verbalize everything while giving the signals, which really helps....and not just in team control situations!
Examples while giving signals above:
Initial Report - Team control, white 23, block, blue ball
Report to table - White foul, #23, team control, blue ball
I also use different voice levels for each - normal speaking volume for initial so players concerned know what's going on, louder & slower for report to table so anyone paying attention will know what the call is.

Now that I think about it I almost always point to the inbound spot and then point the proper direction for my team control fouls (see above added bold text). To me the punch is not a point. The point is a separate signal, direction signals are not made with a closed fist so the direction of the punch is irrevelant. Point is fingers extended, thumb tucked. IMO.
For some reason I had a lot of these early in the season (adjustment from football to basketball). I was also told by one of my partners I verbalize a "Boom!" when I give my team control punch. I knew I was thinking Boom, did not realize I was saying it, too.
