The former. Billy's "Land of Steady Habits" also exists here in the northeast corner. Our signals are by the book, though I like some of Rut's suggestions.
Ultimately, signals are about communication with everyone in the gym. If the current lot doesn't get the job done effectively, I see no problem in lobbying for a few more.
I signaled a tripping foul in a soccer game I did last week (even though such signals are optional in soccer). No way could I do such a thing in basketball, so it felt pretty good (although I'm sure the tripped player might disagree).
