Regarding player control foul signals, here in my little corner, any signal, or series of signals, seems to be acceptable. We've got 325 officials in my local board, and I bet that we have over 100 "acceptable" player control foul signals.

You seem to have missed the point. The point was on this call, they aren't even touching their hips. It's the punch.
