There are a lot of crew communication signals and they seem to vary from association or even crew to crew.
I remember first using the extended arm when I officiated in California. They also used an arm across the chest to indicate the man nearest to them is on the line. Of the 24 crews in my current assciation in NY, my crew is the only one using those signals because I like them.
Until the NFHS adopted the roughing the snapper and the crew signal being the rolling hands like a false start I used it like the NFL to signal the clock would stop on the next play. Wonderful signal to remind everyone after a punt or a 4th down to immediately stop the clock. In fact, I told the clock operator on the down following that signal he was on his own to immediately stop the clock.
