They made a big deal this year at our rules meeting about "whistle blows, hand goes up". (Fist for foul, open hand for violation.) That's what stops the clock, then signal appropriately. This also helps avoid the blarge as it gives you that moment to make eye contact with your partner to (hopefully) avoid those types of calls.

U.P. here the whistle stops the clock.
Good thing, too! Because some officials don't get those hands up high enough for the timer (or Partner) to see.
