In talking about a dropped 3rd strike in an article Rollie says, "If more umpires would use the open hand signal by UIC to indicate no catch. If the mechanic were more popularly taught in clinics for newly initiated and semi-handicapped umpires."

I have always been told the proper mechanic is a safe signal. Is this new? Or an old mechanic?? Or a Rollie thing that no one knows what he is talking about like his Nile Valley League reference that can supposedly be found in a dictionary?
