9 out of 10 times, the table crew looks like they have no idea if the shot should count as 3 or 2...then when I give them the "2" signal, they looked relieved and nod their head up and down.
Again...it might not be a "pure" mechanic...but, it sure alleviates possible problems such as the one in the OP.

In this situation I would not have been discreet. Everyone in the gym would have seen me putting up 2 fingers to the scorer's table.
