Take a look at this, at the bottom of page 169 (BR-168).
"It is permissible to omit the stop-the-clock signal on an out-of-bounds violation."

For some reason, I started doing this this year, and had to focus to get back to the correct NFHS mechanic. This was specifically addressed by the state, and they want the stop-the-clock signal given on all oob violations.
I've caught myself saying, "on the floor" once, but that's a product of my partners. As Spok told Kirk when being teased for acting almost human, "prolonged contact is bound to result in some contamination."

I agree it can get confusing when often moving from some mechanics to some others. I personally try to raise my arm whenever I blow the whistle. That's one less thing to worry about.
But I still think, until otherwise proven, that it's not actually a
mistake to omit to raise the arm on an OOB violation (under NCAA).
