Proper mirroring on a three-pointer...

This is one of my pet peeves, and it came to full fruition when I was working a game last night.

3-man varsity game, I'm the C. A player clearly in my primary with his toes on the arc receives a pass and pulls up for a shot, and I show two fingers toward the ground to make sure the table knows that it's a 2 (acceptable in this area). But unfortunately, the T decided to go up with an attempted 3-point signal even though he had no look at the play and it was in my primary. Sure enough, the shot goes in, he goes up with the touchdown signal, we have conflicting calls, and I have to stop the game to fix it and deal with an angry coach.

I had to remind him after the game that the C/T should not be mirroring an attempted 3-pointer in the other's primary (and it wasn't even a three!). The only thing that C/T should be mirroring is a good three-pointer, not an attempted one. Thankfully, he was receptive and understood what I was saying.

That's enough ranting for me!
