Or maybe they are an IAABO official, which relies on its own mechanics manual, not the one the HFHS publishes.
IAABO mechanic for jump ball for the referee:
"Verbally and by directional signal indicate the teams' basket."
So in these parts, the official who does not do that is seen as the one who arrived 10 minutes early, doesn't care about prescribed mechanics, etc.
