Correct me if I'm wrong, but under NCAA, omitting to raise the arm on an out-of-bounds violation is not a mistake.
In the 2004-2005 CCA Men's Basketball Officiating Manual, it gives several mechanics POEs. On page 25, under the heading "Signals", it says "Non-standard signals are not to be used. All officials must use the standard signals listed in this manual when calling violations or fouls. . . Using unauthorized signals, lik a "hit to the head," a tip signal on block [sic] shots, not stopping the clock before signaling direction or over-exaggerated blocking foul signals, are prohibited" (emphasis mine).
You are talking about bad habits some officials developped because they were lazy and/or wanted to show off. But isn't the document I showed you the real NCAA thing? I don't think your quote applies to it.
