Signaling the attempt does not necessarily mean you're not watching your primary.
But, that is what the signal means - that official is watching the shooter. If I see two officials signal a 3-point attempt, I know two officials are watching the ball. It is the same reason you will not see 2 officials with a closely-guarded count. That signal is for the on-ball official.
