My understanding of that rule is that once you have established your "spot," then a player may step with one foot in any direction. If both feet are moving or in motion on a spot throw-in, then it is a violation.

As others have pointed out, that's not correct, Nate. You can do the hokey-pokey during the throw-in, if you want to, as long as you stay within that 3-foot wide designated spot.
I agree with Bob. The violation was probably leaving the designated spot and the official simply used an inappropriate (but fairly common) signal to communicate that.
I've also heard that in some of these early tournaments in AK and HI that they use local, non-D1 officials. Sort of a benefit of having the tournament in your backyard. Does anybody know if that's true?

Here are the three officials that officiated that game according to the Box Score. Kelly Self is the only name I recognized. He is a fairly high profile D1 official.
Gabby Lujan, Kelly Self, Tim Gabutero
