I never thought of the swirly not being a high school mechanic before, just always did it out of watching others. I suppose I shall have to stop.

I believe this "swirly" is an NCAA signal for a shot clock reset after the shot-clock violation. It is not listed as an official NFHS basketball signal but the mechanics used for signaling a shot-clock violation and shot clock reset, have been adopted for use by the CBOA (California) since 1998.
