It's not standard 3-person mechanic everywhere (I don't think it's the FED standard, but since we don't use the FED mechanics book, I don't know for sure).

When it's used in NCAAW, the T doesn't hold up his/her hand until the L is ready to administer the throw-in (and gives the whistle). This is one way to distinguish the "chop" from the "stop" sign.
