I just don't see the value of calling out the fouling player's number on a foul where everyone knows which team has fouled. I know it's in the book. I don't see the value of it OR the preliminary signal. As far as I'm concerned, they could call all of them (holding, pushing, etc.) cheating and eliminate the signal entirely, even the one at the table.
I can stand there and "Red 34 foul, white 22 shooter while making a preliminary signal" or I can make sure I have the only whistle, communicate whether we're shooting, and go to the table while my partners get the shooter to the line. I have the shooter's number as well as the fouler's numbers. Not certain how it helps the game to stay there and make announcements.
