It's only been brought up to me once and that was at a college camp 2 years ago. I was using the new (at the time) NFHS "punch" mechanic at the spot of the foul and the evaluator didn't like it at all (even though the camp was using FED rules). He preferred pointing the direction the ball would now be going and then using the block/push/etc mechanic for the table.
My JUCO supervisor (a veteran D1 official), nor any of his observers, has never brought up the subject. So I just copy what I see on TV.
I know in my HS games I never get it right. Most times I point in the new direction at the spot and then I sometimes use a 'punch' for the table and sometimes the push/block/etc mechanic.
