Your Signal Peeves?

Last week I, from C, call a foul for a handcheck, well before the offensive player's shooting motion started. He continued his motion and the shot, which wouldn't count anyway, went in. I'm saying "no shot, no shot", giving the handcheck signal. My partner at L repeatedly gives what everybody in the gym interpreted as "the basket was good" signal . I go to confer with him. He said, "I was signalling that it was 'on the floor'" . The coach of the shooter asks, after I reported the foul to the table, "What did you guys have to do, flip a coin?"
Didn't look good.
Enough of this "on the floor" stuff!
