Don't over-think this too much. 99.73% of the time we're talking about two officials who have both come out and given a preliminary signal, without knowing the other official also had a call. Then it becomes obvious there are two calls.
If I'm reaching behind my head in your situation, I'm likely to have an itch back there.
