High School Federation Three Point Mechanics

No, this is not the proper mechanic. The lead should raise both arms to indicate three-points, and the trail should mirror the signal. If the lead was still on the ball and didn't see the ball go through the basket (an unlikely occurrence), then the trail should indicate the successful try.

Bob, the lead should not be signaling any kind of 3 point shot in HS mechanics. Now I know they do in NCAA Women's. But the lead does not have any coverage beyond the 3 point line, so the lead should not be signaling an attempt or made shot in this case. Only the Trail and Center should be doing this. And they only time the Trail or Center will mirror each other, when a 3 point shot is put up near the center of the court, and on a made 3 point shot.
