Proper Mechanic For Int. Foul on Made 3pt?

Can you please give me the step-by-step proper sequence of mechanics for the call at the spot of the foul for an intentional foul on a made three-point basket? I moved states and am undergoing their "new" official training and I would swear they are adding some things.

It may be they have a specific local preference, but mainly I want to make sure I have not been doing it wrong.

The proper sequence would be the same as any other foul, but intentional fouls are shot with no one one the line of course. And the ball is put in play at the spot of the foul.

1. Call the foul
2. Give the Intentional Foul signal
3. Put the fouled player on the line (unless injury) to shoot 2 shots (3 if missed)
4. Put the ball in play with a throw-in to the offended team

Not sure what else there is to do.

Peace

Report the foul to the table.

I'm going:
  1. 3-point preliminary
  2. X above my head
  3. count the trey w/3 fingers towards the floor then the touchdown signal

See this would be me, but what they are teaching their new people is obsessive, ever for the most picky person.

1. Mark the 3
2. Fist in the air foul call
3. 3pt good signal
4. Back to fist in the air
5. Verbalize offending color/number
6. Intentional foul x signal and verbalize intentional foul
7. 2 fingers in air and verbalize 2 shots
8. Visually (modified birddog) and verbally identify shooter
9. Visually and verbally identify spot for throw-in that will follow the 2 FTs
10. Report to table

I think this is how I would do it now. But I'll say, for a call that most people will never make in their entire career, this is extraordinarily specific process.

Remember the intentional foul is taken out of bounds nearest the foul, not opposite the table like a technical (NFHS).

With your modifications is how I learned it several years ago, this new procedure just seemed absurd to me.

Except for #4 and #7&8 (and #7&8 are fairly common practice), I think that is pretty much straight out of the book for ALL fouls. Nothing specific about the intentional foul except for the specific signal for the type of foul.

All fouls have a fist, then a preliminary color/number/foul at the spot, followed by how/where play will resume, then the report to the table. If there is a made shot involved, we are to indicate that it counts (and that it is 3-points when necessary) as soon as it goes in...which puts it near the start of the list. Except for #4, there really isn't anything in this list that is abnormal. We may not detail the list as explicitly as above, but all of those things are part of the procedure.

I don't typically do #5, to be honest. On 8, I was thrown by the "modified bird dog" portion. I simply tell my partner the color and number of the shooter. I may or may not point at the shooter if there's any question of who should shoot.

I didn't see number 11 anywhere.

11. Eject the coach for complaining about the call.

This is probably what Camron is talking about...

but, I could see myself "flushing" this one somewhere around #2 or #3.

Did I Do That (Steve Urkel) ???

Sometimes after a foul (not necessarily, an intentional foul) on a successful three pointer, I will think about it afterward, and say to myself, "I can't believe that I did it all right this time", or, more often, "Gee, I probably looked like a traffic cop out there". I believe that it's, probably, the most complex series of signals that we have to give, and if you screw it up, I doubt, hopefully, that anyone will criticize you.
