I worked a Juco playoff game on Saturday. I called a foul on a player during a scramble for a ball on the floor. The kid got up and walked over to me like he wanted to chat about it. I just said "Get out of my face," and his teammate pulled him away.
Another official who was in the stands said that after the kid moved away from me, he gestured "impolitely" at my back; pointing and probably saying something. I would have T'd it if I'd seen it, but it was behind me.
Maybe the officials in that D2 game simply didn't see the "choke" gesture if there was something else happening on the floor.
