I had this during a game. Lead made the "clean block shot" signal while the trail called a foul. I explained to the official why this is a bad mechanic. We now have two officials with two different calls. One has a foul, one has a blocked shot.
It's like two umpires in softball making a call at the same base, one safe and one out!
If you don't have a foul, then don't raise your fist! To me this is just an attempt to get everyone off your back for not making a call on a clean block.
