i could see several reason
because all shots (except freethrows and three pointers -- because of our signal) are worth 2 for the books. free throws dont need to be marked cuz everyone knows when a free throw is attempted -- as for 3's
it happens in the flow of the game and scorers dont watch the officials (i hate to say it) unless they have to -- so when a basket goes in that they think is a 3 they look up to us and see both hands go up -- besides our wonderfully colored uniform it makes us stand out more among the players and also for another reason
team 1 might be down 3 and need to make sure they are taking a 3 -- heads up player notices refree point to floor for a 2 and yells for a pass instead of shot (a bit of a reach) but what if you have signaled for a 3 and we dont use the 2 hands mechanics instead we use one hand -- and the ball barely misses and gets tipped in real quick -- scorer scores 3 instead of 2 because your hand was up -- i just dont see this as an issue that needs fixing.
