Even the official's manual calls the signal on the floor a "preliminary signal."
2.4.2(B)(4): "lower the foul signal [fist] and indicate the nature of the foul by giving a preliminary signal."
THEN
2.4.2(C)(2): "If the situation necesitates a discussion with the other officials, have the discussion before reporting to the table so that the correct call and information is conveyed to the table."
That right there says after the preliminary signal the officials can get together and discuss the call to make sure the CORRECT CALL is made.
