Good points. There's no behind the head since this is an NCAAW game. All fouls against the team in control get the punch.

In terms of the no fist to stop the clock, the powers that be are getting on us about that this season. One of the first items under this summer's camp teaching points was "All officials must show a foul signal (fist up) first on all fouls." Some folks - incorrectly - took that to mean every official on the court has to put their fist up on every foul call, regardless of whether they were the one who made the call. At any rate, it was especially emphasized on block/charge plays to avoid one person signaling one thing and another signaling something else (By rule, you can't have a "blarge"/double foul outcome in NCAAW. The "tie" goes to whoever had the ball in their primary).

The wave-off I think is just emphasizing "no shot." Of course, if you go fist then punch there's no need.
