I signaled this call in this situation once.(at least)
This was back in the days when I was a free agent local jr.
high ref and nothing more and often I used no signal at all.
But, the pc signal was the first (proper?) foul signal that I adopted. In this case it was one of those where the hand went behind the head as if by its own accord. I quickly realized my mistake and thought nobody would notice the signal. As I reported the foul the coach was complaining bitterly about the call. I looked at him and shrugged. (I used to do that a lot:))Then when he saw us lining up to shoot 1&1 he got loud and sarcastic. "Oh, now they're going to shoot on the player control." I felt obliged to explain that the foul occurred after the pass. "But you signaled....." he put his hand behind his head. This explanation was too easy,"Yeah, I made a mistake." He gave up and sat down.
