That might be true.
My point is I have seen this either by officials I have worked with or by watching them. And it is one thing to watch officials than to work with officials that have done the very thing. It really was not that bizarre or unusual as you think. I have seen it even in HS games were officials are trying to figure out which way they are going. Sometimes they raise their arm, sometimes they do not.

I cannot speak for her being upset. I did not personally see that. My point is it seemed like she was collecting her barring. And because Women's basketball does not advocate the "stop clock signal" in almost all situations, she got caught in an extra long delay. If this was a HS or Men's game then the official would have likely had their hand and arm up.
