1) turn my body with shoulders facing the division line and use my right arm to signal play going towards team B's basket (which means I would essentially turn away from the players momentarily to signal...although many could see from the side, as would the table and benches);

2) while continuing to face the players, table and benches (with my back relatively squared to the nearest sideline), signal with my left arm toward team B's frontcourt/basket (which means I'm still facing everyone); or

3) while continuing to face the players, table and benches (with my back relatively squared to the nearest sideline), signal across my body with my right arm toward team B's frontcourt/basket (which means I'm still facing everyone but bringing my right arm across my chest)? Tried it yesterday a couple times but it didn't feel right.

Thanks.
Option 2. That works because there's a signal between "stop the clock" and "point the direction."

When there isn't a signal, on an out of bounds, for example, you should raise the left hand to stop the clock and then point with the left hand.
