My personal preference, but if I indicate a 3-point attempt -- even from the Lead -- I'm putting up the touchdown signal.

I'm not...I give the 3 signal to help my partners but I'm not signalling the successful attempt. I getting my eyes down and in the paint for rebounding action.

I try to follow the recommended mechanic, also.

I think that it is the recommended mechanic to give the TD signal, once you have given the attempt signal, regardless of your position on the floor.

I think that's just 2-whistle, where the Lead actually scores the three.

What rebounding? It's a successful attempt. And even if there is rebounding action, you can't do both? Wouldn't you do both if you were the T or C? What am I missing? What's the connection? Why can't I stop asking questions?

your eyes should be on the rebounders before the ball gets to the basket.

But they can't be on the rebounders if you have the shooter and have to make sure he/she is able to land safely without being fouled...which is the whole point of this topic - should the L have the shooter way out there.

And the only reason I see for the L to ever give the TD signal is if the either the T or C (or both) do not give the signal.

Basically because the mechanic for the lead is not to give the successful signal. My question (I'll only ask one ) is why would you feel the need to give the touchdown signal when you already have 2 other officials doing so?

My partner last night on a frosh game had a mechanic that was new to me. When the last FT went up, he would raise his hand to start the clock. If the shot went in, he raised the other hand, as if it were 3 points!

I've always been told that the L has no 3-point responsibilities whatsoever as far as primary coverage goes. We go off of the chart that's in the NFHS manual with the L's coverage ending at the 3-point line and the Trail's coverage going all the way to the corner outside of the arc.

I did see the L in an NBA game last night give the preliminary 3-point signal though. I know, I know, the NBA is different.

Officials Manual 3.3.4B. Three-Point Try 5 - "Lead has responsibility to assist Center and Trail in transition."

You have never had a foul on a player going for a possible rebound on a made basket?
