Mechanics for foul on successful 3-point try

[Nevadaref]

Here's what I do:

1. Three-point field goal attempt (three fingers)

2. Stop clock for foul (fist) USING OTHER ARM.

3. DROP FIST AND GIVE Three-point field goal successful ("touchdown")

4. Go to reporting area

5. Goal counts (motion of hand in downward direction)

6. Repeat Three-point field goal successful ("touchdown")

7. Report color and number of fouler

8. Type of foul (push or "hack")

9. State the number of FTs (obviously one)

Gah. I have this scenario down (I go attempt, fist, count it, touchdown, prelim signal, one finger for the FT) but I had a new one this weekend at Men's Wreck, and I screwed it up. Defender decides to shove through screener on baseline to try to get out on the guy shooting a three from the corner. I'm lead (two-man of course) so I have the attempt, the fist, then a point at the fouler followed by a push signal, and a point to the baseline. I missed both the touchdown and the count-it (punch the fist downward). While they are redundant, I needed one of them! So everyone was confused for a minute on who the foul was on and if the basket counted. I went to the table and reported it correctly before getting it straightened out at the spot, and by then my partner was lining them up for the free throw (assuming I called a foul committed against the airborne shooter I guess), and it was my fault he had to guess since my signals at the spot sucked.

I'm almost with this. In the middle of #3, I'll give a "count it" (for lack of a better phrase) signal followed then by the TD.

The rest, I'm with.

It's happened once this season so far. Usually happens at least once a year. Biggest one of these was at the buzzer at the end of the quarter in a regional boys game about 4 years back.

Just like Nevada except for #2. I form fist with same hand I had 3-fingers up.
