I'm talking about any mechanic that is taken over the edge to put on a show or emphasize a call. I'm sure we will see many calls like this with the tournament coming up. The majority of NBA officials use calm mechanics.

The majority of NCAA officials also use calm mechanics. Like many things, some officials mimic what they see on TV. The NBA used to use exaggerated signals to sell a block or a good basket. We see some of that in the college ranks now. But I think the vast majority of college officials do not use outlandish or cartoonish signals.
