Gah. I have this scenario down (I go attempt, fist, count it, touchdown, prelim signal, one finger for the FT) but I had a new one this weekend at Men's Wreck, and I screwed it up. Defender decides to shove through screener on baseline to try to get out on the guy shooting a three from the corner. I'm lead (two-man of course) so I have the attempt, the fist, then a point at the fouler followed by a push signal, and a point to the baseline. I missed both the touchdown and the count-it (punch the fist downward). While they are redundant, I needed one of them! So everyone was confused for a minute on who the foul was on and if the basket counted. I went to the table and reported it correctly before getting it straightened out at the spot, and by then my partner was lining them up for the free throw (assuming I called a foul committed against the airborne shooter I guess), and it was my fault he had to guess since my signals at the spot sucked.
