That one I used to use quite a bit. I have gotten away from that on shot attempts unless the ball goes out of bounds then I will go up with the arm, indicate a tip and point for offensive team possession. (when working as the L). I figure otherwise everyone should be able to tell that since the whistle didn't blow on the attempt, I don't have a foul, the tip signal just indicates I saw the ball off the defense before it went OOB.
