Maybe I've never been called out on it because I don't do a full Hula Swoosh. My signal is a "push" away from the base, not a giant sweep. (People who have worked with me can let me know if this signal is bigger than I think it is....Andy, I'm looking at you.) Imagine an NFL official signalling no-catch out of bounds on a semi-obvious play...and come to think of it, I've never had this play happen while in front of higher-level USA evaluators.
