Just trying to figure out what kind of gesture they can make that won't be taken as a fair catch signal.

Any waving kills the ball.

This play is suggesting this is a penalty. It is not just suggesting it just kills the play.

I'm sorry, but I have never heard that suggested.

I was responding to his inquiry about what we have been told in my area.

I’ve never seen the “get-away” signal while the kick is still in flight, as in the OP.

Oh, I have....generally a shorter kick that looks like it will fall near a blocker running down with a gunner.

I am sure it has happened somewhere, but usually when the returner is clearly not getting the ball and it is rolling around on the ground. But these are high school kids we are talking about.
