Are you sure? One time I saw an official blow a whistle during a throw-in, then he used the traveling signal. (tic)

I saw the exact same thing in an NCAA game that I was watching last year. There was a "spot" violation on a designated spot throw-in and the official used the traveling signal instead when he called it. Right call--wrong signal. [/B]

I've seen several officials in our area use the travel signal as well, and I think that helps perpetuate the myth that you can travel during a throw-in. Isn't the proper signal just the open-palm? What else do other people do to communicate what actually happened? Does this fall in the same category as the free-throw rim violation, where some people tend to use the "swirlie" (or is it "swirly"?), instead of just the open palm?
