The punch should come first.

I don't know if NFHS has a specific order, but I definitely do the punch at the spot of the foul, then either the punch or block/hold/push/hit signal at the table to clarify, if needed. Remember, the purpose of signals is communication. The punch tells people you have a foul on the offense, you will be going the other direction, and there will not be any FT's shot if the team is in the bonus. If you signal a block first (say on an illegal screen), players/coaches might think you have a foul on the defense, then when you signal the punch next they might think you changed your mind, creating unneeded confusion. Using the punch first definitely signifies a foul on the offense; then if there is still a question, you can signal the specific foul at the table along with the punch, or simply verbalize the infraction.

Unless I'm mistaken, the NFHS specifies only the punch...nothing more.

That's my understanding based on our state rules meeting.

Actually the NF wants to the punch and the fouls signal at the site. That is according to a PowerPoint slid I saw recently.
