I had never seen the fist used as a signal for TO, or been instructed to accept it. A lot of teams, and I mean a lot, have a play that is signaled with the fist held up by the point guard.
Yet, my partner in a JH game Thursday instructed a player to use the fist rather than use both hands to call a TO while dribbling. His concern was that the dribble is interupted if both of the player's hands are busy, thus removing the possibility of a TO.
Seems to me the hand on the shoulders would be most appropriate with that concern, the coach can always overrule and request a full.
