Officials are role models?

To call a technical foul he first stops the clock with an open hand, and then follows with the "T" signal. Here we stop the clock with the closed fist foul signal and then follow with the "T" signal.

Comments from other parts of the country?

I've personally have never seen anyone use a preceding signal before using the jump ball signal. Always just straight to the jump ball signal.

As far as technical fouls go, I've also never seen anyone go with the foul signal before a technical foul. It's either a stop clock signal or straight to the "T".
