If I recall correctly the "point towards the court" after a made basket is a holdover from a time when shot clock keepers needed to be reminded to reset the shot clock.

In this modern era the signal is superfluous and has developed into a kind of 'negative signal' used to say "marginal contact, we are playing on".
