You'd have to have two over-the-back signals, and two for reaching. One each would be for the legal movement which involves no contact, and one each for the actual fouls. What you said a few days ago is true: Many people think "over the back" means that any play from behind is illegal even if it involves no contact. I've seen parents yell about "over the back," even when the ball was so far behind their little Jonnie that the supposed fouler had to reach back to get it!
So you could have one signal for the legal move like how we signal a "tip" or "all ball", and another for the foul. Think the rules committee would go for it?
