Let me suggest one mechanic that is pretty much adopted around here do. When the lead official "cues" the three-point attempt (the one hand) Trail goes up with the one hand and Lead then drops the arm completely, when the basket goes in Trail signals the 3 pointer. There are very few times when as trail that you won't notice lead going up with the three. This is a very smooth and clean looking mechanic. The lead should also know that if you havent already signalled a three,he'll know the ball goes in and he can signal but Trail is going to mirror so at some point in time the trail should have signalled the three.
Lead does not miror. No reason to unless your evaluator says so.
There are a few guys who cannnot adjust but around here when we do Pro games we use pro mechanics, when we do NF games we do NF mechanics. In rec games that use NF rules I use pro mechanics because they are faster. I am not sure which mechanics you are referring to but pro mechanics are not that different from NF... Women's NCAA has adopted many of them and you are even seeing them creep into NCAA Men's. I would argue given enough time some of them will trickle down to NF.
You can also learn a lot from Pro mechanics. I have learned a lot about basketball learning from Pro refs. Also if you know pro and college rules you'll be a better HS ref because many times people watch the Pro game and will ask rules questions or mention something and it is easier to talk with them about it if you understand all the games.
