proper sequence of signals on foul with made basket
Player fouled in the act of shooting, basket is made. Which is the proper way to signal.
Whistle, fist, score basket, preliminary signal, one shot or Whistle, fist, preliminary signal, score basket, one shot. A preliminary signal is expected in our area. |
I would probably choose to give the preliminary signal first, but I'd say you should do it in whatever order makes you feel comfortable.

I only do a preliminary on a Blocking foul. In those cases the preliminary comes before signaling to score the basket.
|
At the spot of the call:
Whistle, fist, score basket, preliminary signal, one shot. At table: "basket's good (signal), foul on Red 55 (signal), block/push/hit (signal), one shot (signal)" |

I know that I often give the "block" signal before I count the basket. But these are not big deals to anyone here either. As long as you give the signals at some point, that is the main thing to remember. Peace |

I only give a preliminary signal if the play calls for one.
I mean, if it's clearly a foul against the defense, like an illegal contact foul during the shot, I'll just give the whistle-fist-made basket-1 shot signal. But if it's like a block/charge play, then I'll give the preliminary block/charge call. Or if the foul is a push down low/body, while there's no foul above the shoulders/arms, then I'll give the preliminary so people know what type of foul I had. |

* Exception for me which has been cited elsewhere in the thread, is a block on a B/C play, or I suppose any other play where there could be confusion on whether the foul was offense or defense. For this, I agree that the order of signal (foul vs. scoring the bucket) doesn't matter. My preference is to sell the unknown first, so I signal the foul first; everyone in the gym can tell the ball went in the basket, so I'm not in as much a rush to signal that. |

My routine is to always comunicate to my partners first. Whistle,fist,say team color,point to ball placement and lastly to the table.
