I've seen guys use this "toilet swish" signal...only not stirring a drink with finger in the down position but, pointing finger in the air while swirling.
I've seen it used on a missed FT, basket interference, and even when the ball rolls over the top of the backboard...all improper signals I've been told.
Seems this is a mechanic for re-starting the shot clock, I believe.

P.S. BTW...I "do over" on the 2.4 seconds at the
backcourt baseline. "Coach, we don't want to end the game on a timing mistake, that wouldn't be fair...we're going to do it over. Coach B, we'd do the same for you."
Unfourtunetly, the surprise play is lost.
