The arm closest to the player or furthest away from the player? This also assuming we agree that taking a step away/back after the player has the ball is a good practice.

This is opposite of the thought process I have for calling fouls or signalling three-point attempts, but since I'm not 6'8" the player will cut off my vision beyond the player anyway. Is that confusing?

I'm hoping no one is turned away from the thrower so far that their arm even gets into the field of vision that matters. Even if they raise the arm closest to the thrower, it should only be blocking stuff that is OOB behind the thrower.
