Agree with this. When I watch games that's one thing I notice. Do they have style? Style is hard to describe though.

Fwiw, I bang my hips once or twice on the preliminary signal but report it properly to the table.

Pretty much the same for me, except I only bang my hips once at the site of the foul (preliminary signal), and then I report to the table with the proper signal.

Kind of a hair splitter - but definitely not a block, IMO.

And certainly NOT a travel. He's still dribbling when his right foot goes down. Then he steps forward with his left foot without lifting the right one. How can that be a travel?

I do think Joey C could have limited himself to THREE thrusts, though

Gotta love it!

The travel occurs before he dribbles.
