I like throwing up the stop-clock mechanic before the held ball signal. It's not necessary but it gives officials a second to make sure that another official doesn't have a foul or a timeout. It's like a blarge -- I'd rather avoid any situation where two officials would be giving different signals and then having to sort out which action came first.

That is exactly the reason to give the proper signal first....so you can tell something about what each other has just by looking at each other. Maybe theirs really was after.
