Intentional Technical Foul

First of all coaches don't "jump all over me" either we show a mutual respect & talk like men or they get put in check... plain & simple.

To answer your question, I had a coach say "how could that be push when he clearly blocked him?"

I've learned to give the correct signal for what actually happened since then.

Good grief, sorry if I offended your sensibilities by saying "jump all over me", it is a figure of speech. I'm not trying to argue with you all I am saying is that whether you give the correct secondary or not is irrelevant. Should you try to give the right one every time, of course good for you if you do it right every time, you shold strive to do so! If you give the "wrong" secondary from time to time does it matter? No! A) Many times no one can know which part of the contact you are signaling the foul for anyways (was it the hold or the push that happened afterwards? what if the hold and the push are simultaneous?) and B) The administration is identical
