That's weird....
We used to, but that changed a while back.

When there is a made two pointer shot from really close to being a three pointer, most of the guys I know hold two fingers pointing down at the floor and kind of "pump" them and show it to the scorer, who is usually looking at you for a three signal.

As to the one and one, I hold the ball with both hands, drop the ball to the floor and signal one and one with one finger of each hand (wiggling them slightly) before the ball bounces back up. Then I catch the ball in both hands (I hope ), then bounce it to the shooter.

Also, I never say "two shots", only "two" (or "one" or "one and one"). I have had partners who said "one shot" and the players thought they may have said "one and one". If you give only a single number without any other words, there is no confusion.
