Unfortunately, some officials do call the right violation properly but use the wrong signal after making the call. They call the thrower for illegally leaving the spot, but they then use the "traveling" signal instead of NFHS signal #25, for instance. I've seen this not only in high school games, but also several times in the last few years on televised NCAA D1 games.
