I was taught that the official signaling the attempt is also staying with the shooter until they land.
'Round here if the L marks it they also signal the successful 3 & the T mirrors that.
If the L is truly staying with the shooter, how would they know if the T picked it up???
I prefer the L to mark & the T not pick up anything except off ball coverage then mirror the L successful.
It looks goofy to have both officials with their hands up on the attempt. If they both have that shooter, who has the other 8 players???
