3-point shot mechanic

[Raymond]

Don't have a FED manual in front of me but I sure don't do what that "guy" told you.

You and I must live in the same world. Does this mean we also live in the same world as Nevadaref?

Egad, it does.

When working with just two officials, if the lead signals first and then the trail signals as well, it's fine for the lead to drop the 3-point attempt signal. No need to have both officials signaling.

True, but that usually happens when the try is taken from near the intersection of the primary coverage areas.

It's not done as a matter of practice with all 3pt tries.

When that happens, who has the shooter... the L who gave it up or the T who's 30-50 feet away??

I always pregame this with my partner. As Trail, I'll only copy the Lead's "good" signal after a made 3 pointer if it's in his area. I don't copy him marking the shot. If I'm the Lead and I see the Trail mark the shot, I'll drop my hand and watch rebounding action. I guess this is exactly what mbyron does as I read his OP again.

I was working a camp the other day and several times when I was Trail, my partner would mark the attempt as Lead when the ball was out at the wing, only 6-8 feet from the top of the key. I'm not really sure what he was watching (Not his area, that's for sure), as it wasn't even close to free throw line extended.
