I was in the stands one time and saw this on the floor:
Time running out in the quarter - Ball Fumbles away from G into big mess of players right at the 3 point arc and close to the sideline - Ball kicks OOB - L(don't know why) blows his whistle with open hand - T blows his whistle with closed fist(don't know why) - Quarter ending buzzer sounds a click after both of these whistles(probably .5 left on the clock when whistles go) - My buddy(who was the only one I knew on the floor) was C in front of Coach - Coach saw T with the fist(and knew what that was) - My buddy @ C(trying to get away) is not successful - Coach says "What did he have?"(Pointing to T) - My buddy(dropping his head) says, "I will find out." - He goes 1/2 way across the floor, where the T could hear him and says, "What did you have?" - The guy takes 2 steps out on the floor and makes a motion like he is calling a travel with one hand or a signal like "let's get things going"(hope you can visualize) - My buddy turns around to the coach and says, "Coach, he's got this,(ANd does the exact same signal)" He then sprinted away to the other lane and found a nice comfy block to stand on between the quarters - I had to leave the gym due to the fact that there were not too many people in there and they all could hear me howling and slapping the bleachers in laughter.
