The two hands to the hip signal is for a block, which I see more as a defensive call. I agree that essentially an illegal screen would be a block or push and would indicate such at the table, but I am not sure why or how to signal this when it happens. I can't see using a fist, then punch, then block and if my partner simply signaled with the fist then the block i would be thinking foul on the defense, not offense. Is there something in the mechanics book that shows a prefered sequence?

To keep things simple I use the blocking signal for fouls on the defense (yes I use fists), and the punch is all I use for the TC fouls. When I punch the other way everyone knows what it's for, especially if it's off-ball. I don't use the blocking signal at the table either, just the TC signal. If the coaches need clarification I will tell them verbally.
