The only reason I can see for going hand straight up is possibly if the gym is real noisy...and to slow down an official that needs it.
Which looks better, two officials selling conflicting calls (foul vs travel, e.g.) or giving a stop clock signal which, on its own, doesn't actually tell you what they're calling or on who?
