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.

And what if you throw up the stop clock open palm and your partner has a fist?
If you come in with 2 thumbs up and your partner has a foul and fist, you figure out what came first. It is no different than any other double whistle and is nothing like a blarge.
