I took this to mean if you aren't within earshot. Of course if you are close enough you would just say it. But I'm not saying anything if I'm 50-70 feet away, thus, the fist pound.
And it's generally not meant for anyone else to understand. It's communication bw partners, not for the coaches or fans.

Stupid typing on a phone makes it hard to get a point across. I meant when I'm giving the signal if I'm further away, likely after we have moved to a new spot on floor. It's really more of a softball thing for me bc we have a lot less chances for a "close" play to happen. They happen every trip or so in basketball. But, I have done it.

Softball is a double tap of the fists, but I don't do it on the college fields anymore. 1) coaches are wise to it and 2) with the proliferation of cameras, that is inevitably the play they send to your coordinator to complain about. It is starting to change to an "are you ok?" signal in my circle. Some of the shots I've taken and seen taken are ugly.
As far as a good call mechanic, I just make a mental note and talk about it in my post game in both sports now. If it's close, we will all remember it.
