Yeah, I posed the question because - as mentioned - I never go up with the fist. I'll either go up with the open hand or go straight to the T, and it really just depends on the situation. Most of the time the person being penalized is looking at me. If this is the case, I go straight to the T signal. If they are not looking, I'll generally blow the whistle with an open hand before giving the T signal. I want them to see the signal before I take it to the scorer's table.

I was waiting for the mechanics fanatics to say that the appropriate stop clock for foul signal was the fist. I'm pleasantly surprised that we haven't seen that yet.
