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.

There's something that I don't understand: if, facing the baseline, team A's basket is at your right, you can't point to B's basket bringing your
right arm across your chest, unless you turn facing the sideline.
Raise your right arm, pivot on your left foot slightly, and point to B's basket with the right arm; you'll still be facing the players. That's why (at least in two person crews, FIBA) we stay on the left side of the court, because the majority of people are right-handed and so the majority of direction signals can be done with the right arm without turning away from the court.
