As BNR says, I point if it is not obvious. I've found usually it is obvious.

I rarely point, because as Welpe mentioned, it's usually obvious.
Interesting. I guess I don't point for the same reason I don't bird dog. I'm not really concerned whether it's obvious or not, because I'll be telling the only people that matter in a few seconds anyway.

I just like to see the guilty party throw up his hands in disbelief faster.

Probably just as good a reason.

Yeah, it's very much a personal choice.

True.

I don't believe there's a specific mechanic mentioned in the manual, right?

Not that I'm aware of.

Next Time, I'll Pay Attention ...
I'm not sure that I even put up the "foul fist" when I charge a technical foul on either a player, or a coach, I just blow my whistle and give the "T" signal. In fact, I'm not even sure that I blow my whistle most of the time. Now, where are my house keys?
