There are no free throws on team control common fouls, for which the signal is: fist in the air and then punch in the direction of the fouling team's basket (the team's basket for FIBA is the one where the opponents shoot).

There is team control during throw-ins. After a try for goal there is no team control, so the punching signal must not be used, as it means "team control foul" and implies "no free throws" if in the bonus.

So if an airborne shooter releases the ball and then crashes into a defender, that defender will shoot free throws (if their team is in the bonus) and the basket is allowed.

The clenched fist against open palm can be used only on player control foul.

In the case of team (so also player) control foul the proper sequence is: 1. fist in the air; 2. punch; 3. bird-dogging; 4. report number of player and foul type. Between 2 and 3 it can be necessary to wave off a basket.
