When and where do you give the preliminary signal?
Does it change if the R is the one who called the foul?
What should the other crew members (5 man) being doing during this time?
Thanks for your help.

From a LJ's perspective, when I have a foul, I go to the R, who is coming toward me, and I tell him what I have. The BJ holds the spot of my flag, the U holds the spot where down ended, and the HL takes a water break. Then, if it's basic, the R goes to the U, tells him what to mark off, and there we go. If there's a question, or something WH doesn't understand, he'll call everybody in and we'll discuss it.
