Here's my understanding:
The T's primary on 3-point attempts is from the endline on his half of the court, up to the top of the 3-point line, and back down to the free-throw line extended on the opposite side of the court. The L's primary on 3-point attempts is from the endline on his half of the court, up to the free-throw line extended on his side of the court.
If a 3PA originates from your primary, you should signal the attempt.
If a 3PA attempt is successful, and you signalled the attempt, you should also signal the good.
The T should always signal the successful 3PA.
- This means that the T will mirror the L, but the L will never mirror the T.
- The T mirrors the L so that the "good" signal so that the signal is clearly visible to the scorekeeper's table.
I believe that your interpretor has erred.
