We do not give a signal either and just about everyone around here discourages a signal from the U. We will communicate with the U, but not with a signal that everyone can see. What we do is say, "I have the ball here" and it is up to the wings to decide how they got there. And that is said by whether the ball is in the end zone and the ball is out of the end zone.
