I agree with JR and Rock. Live ball, shouldn't make any difference. I can buy the stuff about slowing down your mechanics, but why?
I see other problems with it. We verbally state the color and number of the fouler, so in a block situation where you give the signal at the point of the foul and your other hand is tied up, your verbal notice is late, if it comes at all. At the end of the period when you are signalling no shot (or after a foul in the same circumstance) and you want to verbalize it (which should be all the time), what do you do?
JR: you and I are agreeing on more and more things lately. What's the deal?
