Spread arms signal for no closely guarded? Yes or no?

Sometime I will find myself giving the safe signal. Maybe it's because I'm looking forward to baseball season, but I noticed I do it in reaction to certain plays. Even though it may not be a HS mechanic, it is a personal mechanic I use to let the coach , players, fans, my p's and everyone else know I saw it!

How many officials do not use the mechanic for no score? In the book it shows it called like a safe signal, but how many wave above their head?

I also wanted to mention about the stop clock mechanic. Half the time the timer can't see you anyway while coaches are allowed to stand, players in the way etc.. They stop the clock on the whistle, HS should go to the NCAA mechanic and forget the stop clock signal.

IMO
