There are several things to look for, but yes, basically a judgement call by the umpire.

So she passed her hip twice CW and three times CCW. To try to explain further... assume hands at the waist are at 5 on a clock (6 is the hip). Rotate the clock arms CW to 7, then CCW to 12, then CW to 7, then CCW (making a full rotation) to 5 for the release.

In my mind (and I think this is supported by the book), it doesn't matter what the hands and ball do as long as they're together. Once they separate, then the "clock is on" as to how many rotations the ball (and the arm holding it) can make.
