I know in 2 whistle, trail signals the made basket. If lead has indicated its a 3 point attempt then trail should always mirror the attempt and then signal the made if its good.

Whoever's area the shooter is in, that's who will signal the attempt. I believe that is the same in both 2-whistle and 3. Once the shot is made, in 3-whistle the T and C both signal the made basket, in 2-whistle the T gives the signal.
I'm not sure I agree with your statement about the T giving the signal on the attempt in 2-whistle. I've always been taught whoever has on-ball coverage will be the one to signal the attempt. This tells me there are two sets of eyes on the ball, and no one watching off-ball. There are times where this might happen, such as when a dribbler comes out of one area, stops in the "gray area" and shoots, and both officials happen to be watching the shot. But in most cases, I think only one official should be giving the attempt.

You may be misunderstanding me. I agree the person who's area of responsibility signals the attempt. If its the lead signalling the attempt the trail mirrors the attempt and then has the shot to signal the made. Lead should never watch the shot in 2 whistle. That is how I was taught and teach new officials.
