Birddog shooter on shooting foul?

I asked the question last yr and here were the results.

Optional Bird Dog

I've used it on occasion, but most folks don't.

Last year's thread was in regard to bird dogging the player charged with the foul. This thread is in regard to bird dogging the shooter.

I've never used the "official" bird dog signal (arm outstretched, palm down, point to hip) to identify the shooter (just the player who fouled, as an option). If the shooter is obvious, I do nothing. If the shooter is not obvious, I will make eye contact with my partner, point to the shooter with a traditional, garden variety, pointing gesture, and state, "Shooter", to my partner.

Since we began not shooting team control fouls several years ago, and now with throwin fouls considered team control fouls, the non-obvious shooter on a screening foul doesn't come up any more, so the shooter is often more obvious than in the past.
