Here's the sitch. Two whistle mechanics, girls varsity, my (quality) partner is lead. Girl takes a shot near the arc right in front of him. As the shot goes up, he does the three-finger signal. Ball goes in, but for some reason he doesn't continue with the two-armed touchdown sign. I did not see the shooter's feet when she put up the shot.

Turned out there was a stoppage in play in the next few seconds, the table beckoned him over, and they counted the three.


Should I have hit my whistle after the shot went in, or just let play continue on as I did?

Thx for the feedback, folks.

Since your partner was the lead, I am going to assume that he stayed with the shooter to protect the shooter and then turned his attention to rebounding play in front of him. If you saw him signal a three point attempt and you saw that the attempt was successful, then by all means signal a successful three-point attempt whether your partner does or does not make any signal whatsoever.
