The majority of NCAA officials also use calm mechanics. Like many things, some officials mimic what they see on TV. The NBA used to use exaggerated signals to sell a block or a good basket. We see some of that in the college ranks now. But I think the vast majority of college officials do not use outlandish or cartoonish signals.
