We do the same signal here.

Only other one I can think of is if BU has a banger with a possible pulled foot BU will point at the foot and look briefly toward PU - PU will lift his foot an inch or so if the foot was pulled, or stand normal if not, and BU makes the call himself. To the average fan, it appears BU saw the pulled foot or possible pulled foot (as he's pointing at it), and ruled safe or out himself.
