There is no rule that governs signals and mechanics, only universally accepted signals that officials, coaches, players, and fans recognize.

I can answer your question all day, it does not change the fact there there is no rules support to say a signal is given when someone "raises their arms" in any way shape or fashion. I have seen an official do the same thing when there is a simple double whistle and stop their partners from coming out with a signal. I have really seen that happen in D1 situations. He could be simply stopping him (as I have said before in this thread) and say, "I got this." There are a lot of reasons people put up their hands.

If your argument is why someone signaled something, then we will never agree. You need a rule to support that this is nothing but a blarge and you do not have one right now. That is all I am saying so what you "think" means nothing when the rules makers have not said that applies to a blarge situation and only a blarge situation. Maybe they will one day address this specific situation, but they have not at this point.
