So who watches the actual shot attempt and signals the made 3 in a 3 whistle crew?

I know in 2 whistle, trail signals the made basket. If lead has indicated its a 3 point attempt then trail should always mirror the attempt and then signal the made if its good.

Whoever's area the shooter is in, that's who will signal the attempt. I believe that is the same in both 2-whistle and 3. Once the shot is made, in 3-whistle the T and C both signal the made basket, in 2-whistle the T gives the signal.

I'm not sure I agree with your statement about the T giving the signal on the attempt in 2-whistle. I've always been taught whoever has on-ball coverage will be the one to signal the attempt. This tells me there are two sets of eyes on the ball, and no one watching off-ball. There are times where this might happen, such as when a dribbler comes out of one area, stops in the "gray area" and shoots, and both officials happen to be watching the shot. But in most cases, I think only one official should be giving the attempt.
