I guess the "On The Floor' signal" is a good example of using a non-standard signal.

Using that "signal" sends the wrong message. Habitual motion can begin while a player is still "on the floor" & the player should be awarded with FTs in that case.
I agree with you that wiping the attempt, "no shot" communicates a throw-in is next, unless there are 7+ fouls of course.
