In the State Finals the head official tells the officials that no one does this right and if they do not do it right in the games (at the State Finals), they owe him a beer. Well I bought 3.

I never do it right and usually forget the foul signal but always go with the TC signal.

I will often forget to give the "illegal screen block" signal as part of the preliminary signal at the site of the foul, just giving the team control punch, but I'm pretty good at remembering to give both signals as I report to the table, verbally stating "illegal screen" as I give the blocking signal. The signal for the type of foul (push, hold, block, etc.), is always important, but the most important signal is the team control punch because it tells everybody, including your partner, that we're not shooting free throws.

(I'm also one of those "fist" on hips blocking foul guys as the preliminary signal but will usually come to my senses and give the correct "hands" on hips signal when reporting to the table.)
