As I understand this, unless the "hand on the hip" is doing some pushing, I'm not going to whistle at all. If I do, I'm signaling a push. I'm probably pretty lenient on what constitutes the shooting motion.

Not sure I agree fully here. A "hand on the hip" is
*usually* doing some pushing and is enough to get my
attention. Whether I whistle or not depends on how well the
dribbler can play through it. Usually.
