And I thought I was anal about this type of stuff
Yep....That is new this year in the NCAA Umpires Mechanics Manual. I guess they wanted to leave no stone unturned. We think it's kinda funny as well.

Personally, I have gotten away from giving any signal. I just tell them they are gone and inform the manager/coach that I need a substitute. To make sure the other team and scorekeeper knows what is going on, I let them know of the ejection when I offer the substitute. If it gets announced, the player or coach will announce it through their actions.
My last ejection came last year in Plant City and my partner didn't even know about it until two innings later. I don't believe you need to put on a show to get your point across.
