It's important for the T (or the C, in 3-man) to continue to officiate the ball until the L has "accepted" the play. That means the L is in position and is officiating the ball.

Chuck,
YU.P.!
Now that brings up the point of "When does our partner own the ball?"
Some oficials turn their torsos directly at the ball.
Other officials put an open hand on their chest.
There are probably other mechanics employed.
It is obviously important to be aware of your partner and the ball in these instances in order to avoid confusion.
