Yes. In this situation the old T/new L is nearly always trailing the play closely while the old L/new T is still well down court. So if the shooter is within a foot or so of the line, it is good help for the L to either mark the attempt or give a "2 point shot" signal (if that signal is used in your area). Once the T has picked up the signal, drop it.
