Anybody see it? Maybe I missed something.

In women's mechanics, if the L needs help on an OOB call, they can look out to the C or T and verbalize "Need help!", or something to that effect, before giving a signal. This is especially useful on a pass or shot that originated from outside the L's primary. Their partner will signal the direction based on their knowledge. Perhaps that's what you saw, was the L asking their partner(s) for help on the call, and not actually yelling at a player. Once the partner gives the signal, the L mirrors it, and puts the ball in play.
This situation is usually a standard discussion in pre-game.
