I was the R...and I told him to go ahead if he wanted...but, that I didn't think "state" evaluators would look to kindly on non-prescribed NFHS mechanics. (Actually the mechanic looks like a delayed signal, for a violation, on a FT)
He stated that officials point in the air to the opposite side table official when the time is running out...and it isn't a prescribed mechanic.
He had a point.
Comments on those two mechanics and any others you can think of?

I pregame a point.
Before most any resumption of play, I make eye contact and point to my partner to signify that I have ten and that I am ready.
Pointing in the air to note there is one minute left in a quarter is just plain silly to me. However, I may begrudgingly answer my partner after thinking, "Duh ?!!"
