Team Control Foul Signal Sequence

[refnrev]

Some have asked about the signal for the new team control foul. In the August 2005 Referee magazine issue it outlines it. On page 70 a play pic has the following sequence. It says that "officials will not have to learn a new signal for the team control foul. The following sequence of signals will be used.

1. One hand fist to indicate foul.
2. Preliminary signal to indicate nature of the foul.
3. Point to opposite end of the floor.
4. Indicate spot for the designated spot throw-in.

Oddly enough, the signal used in #2 in the play pic is for a block. That might confuse someone!
