Although the PU did not demonstrate proper mechanics as long as he did not say TIME or indicate by any motion ie; raising hands in air, putting up the stop sign" etc. then the play stands.

WHOA WHOA means NOTHING and the players should know that. If they did not hear TIME or FOUL then keep playing.

I agree with the last part of your response Either way, the umpire is going to be getting a lashing.
