If I know that he did see the signal, and then asks, I wouldn't acknowledge the question.

The problem wasn't with him asking the question. I don't doubt that his attention was elsewhere when I signaled two as the shot was in flight.

The problem was with him asking the crowd across the gym if it was a three, AFTER I had answered his question.
