I agree that to avoid the blarge when 2 officials have a call the official whose primary the foul occurred in should take the call. However, communication is also a good thing in this situation.

Over communicate and under officiate.

The simple act of communication by using the preliminary signal may avoid problems because everyone now knows what the call is. It does not appear that the official had to think about the foul while he was on his way to report it to the table. It also can show confidence. When we look confident, we are taken seriously and are more believable.
