I completely disagree. You know how many times I had to explain to a coach we were not shooting FTs and the table after a team control foul. I would even say team control foul at the table and still people would insist we should shoot FTs. The signal takes away the doubt of what kind of foul you have. And if you are signaling at the table and at the spot of the foul then everyone is clear what kind of foul you called.
