Believe it or not, I realize that a technical foul is not a violation. But we use the open hand to stop the clock for reasons other than violations, as well. In my case, I'm simply saying stop the clock, and then giving the T signal to explain why I just stopped the clock.

Using a fist for a T would be very odd to see, I think.
A1attempts a shot. Thinks he was fouled. No call. Opponent gets the rebound and as everyone is heading the other way, the player who thought he was fouled says, "That was a f***ing foul!!"

Why would you not raise your fist as you blow the whistle to assess the T?
