Umpire should give the safe sign and say "that's nothing" to show he saw the play and judged no interference.
(one example of many).

And if I was evaluating an umpire, I would definitely mark that umpire down for NOT giving a safe signal / that's nothing in that situation.
Yes, it's an optional signal in basketball for not CG. But there are times when it's a perfectly valid signal to give. There are times when I will birddog, too (when there's a few defenders around and there's doubt on who committed the foul).
