I must be mis-reading the original post (not the first time). I did not see anything to indicate it was a 3-person crew. I assumed (maybe incorrectly) that it was a 2-person game. If so, and the lead had the 3 point try, why would he/she not signal it was good. I don't have the rule book or officials manual with me (took it home to study for 8/21 exam), but I seemed to recall that if the lead signals a 3 point try and the shot is good, the lead signals it was good and the trail mirrors. But, if the trail signals, the lead does not mirror. I believe the reasoning for the trail to "mirror" the lead is that depending on where the try was made (i.e., in the corner away from the table, the table might not know it was successful. Did I miss something?

From 1999-2000 Officials Manual:
Basic Procedures and Mechanics - Two Officials
Three-point Try
281.d "If the three-point attempt is successful, the covering official will signal by fully extending both arms over the head with palms facing each other. When the Trail official signals a successful three-point attempt, the Lead official shall (not) mirror the signal. When the Lead official signals a successful three-point attempt, the Trail shall mirror the signal."

Missing a not in here, no?
|
No, I am not.

Then I need to go back to re-read the manual, I have not
mirrored a trail's 3 pt signal as lead in years.
|
It was re-inserted in 1999, but, by an large, I rarely use the mechanic.
