TXMike,
I appreciate your time and response.
Here is the problem. When a CB is playing press coverage, he will have his back to the ball on many fade-type patterns. The CB will extend his arm in the possibility or hope of deflecting the ball or disrupting the vision of the WR. This type of technique is used throughout college ball. (D1A) Again, with no contact, perfectly legal.
Now, if it is legal to wave your arm in the above situation, why not do it. By waving the arm back-and-forth, it increases the possibility of deflecting the ball and could further disrupt the field of vision of the receiver. If waving of the arm is legal, then why isn't this technique taught by the coaches? (you never see it)
On my second post I should have said: Attempt to distract, instead of deceive.
On the third post, I was trying to focus on "no contact rule".
