I'm hoping you mean more than twice, as touching it twice is not a violation?

Actually, there is no set mechanic for this violation. The official with the call should step in with their hand up, palm open (to signal the violation), and perhaps verbalize the reason for the violation. I suppose to better communicate the violation, one might signal two "tips" (like the foul tip signal in baseball), but purists would say since there is no approved signal, don't give one. It is similar to the FT violation where the shooter does not hit the rim - there is no set mechanic or signal, but many officials use the "swirly" signal.
