Using the correct signal leaves question as to whether the whistle is for moving off the spot, or an offensive player leaving the court going around a screen.
But not only was the signal WRONG on this play but so was the CALL!

So where does that leave you? You don't know "damn well" what the call was when the call is WRONG!

Whistle and point to the spot. Doesn't that tell you what the call is?
