"Raise the Roof" 3pt mechanic?

I guess I don't know what this is...

Fill me in.

Instead of the "field goal", when you raise your arms you lay your hands back with the palms facing the sky.

Got'cha.

Well, I wouldn't recommend it as it certainly isn't mechanic #16 - but, that's just me.

I've seen a few officials face their palms away from their body toward the court instead of facing their palms inward (toward each other, like you should). But I've never seen an official put their palms toward the sky...

My 3-pointer is the same way I signal a touchdown: palms in, fingers and thumbs together, elbow at a 135° angle, and arms up at the same time. The "raise the roof" mechanic is rather silly for officials to do. Now, if it's a summer fun league, then maybe.

Are you sure they were not college football officials and trying to reset the 40 second play clock?

Never seen that before.
