Which Hand?

Some of us here use the hand on the side of the bench of the team which committed the foul, while also communicating the team color and number ("Blue foul...number eleven"). Took about five games to get used to a couple of years ago. Purely natural now. This also avoids the otherwise popular and oft-construed as accusatory point to the bench which committed the foul. Table is informed of this prior to the game. Some "table officials" mention how this use of which hand helps clarify for them which team is credited with the foul.
Is this common in other areas?
