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.

Maybe, but last year I saw a Sussex Stags adult player blatantly, ridiculously ignore a "Poison!" call from the bench to fruitlessly play a short punt, resulting in team K's getting possession after his touch of it.
