I've had a few varsity level partners that want to do that during middle school games.

Here is how I was trained and how I'm currently doing it.

1) Whistle and fist up
2) With fist up, announce color and number. "White 23"
3) Lower fist and give preliminary signal. At the same time, verbalize the foul. "Hold"
4) Indicate direction or number of shots. "Red" or "2 shots"
5) If shooting, indicate number of the shooter. "Red 15 is shooter."
6) If throw in, indicate throw-in spot.

Then go report color, number, foul, result.

"White 23, hold. Endline spot."

"White 23, hack. 2 shots."
