3 Point Attempt Mechanic

[Rusty Gilbert]

One of the main rationales for T mirroring a 3-point attempt initially signalled by L is that someone sitting at a stats table is charting whether the shot attempt was a "2-point" or "3-point" attempt. An indication by L (who is tucked beyond the end of the court) may not be readily or easily noticed by such Stat Keepers.
