Agree on the arms hanging by your side - does not look very athletic. Also agree on the "safe" signal.

Having a 10 second count when there is less than 10 seconds on the clock is asinine. If the clock doesn't start, you can address that issue on it's own -- but there is no reason to count when there is no way that you can have a violation! With 4.5 seconds on the clock, having a 10-second backcourt count makes you look stupid.

Finally, you can't see what happens with the player to get him on the floor. However, it looks like he is still dribbling and picks up the ball and passes it to another player before getting up = not a travel. If you go to the floor (with a knee) or get up from the floor while holding the ball, it is a travel.
