I coach youngsters and they are taught what follow through is. We also get them to call the shots, which they wouldn't be able to do if their follow through was just holding the gun up. A lot of our older shooters don't follow through properly, if at all - but I don't coach any of them (yet).
Technically you can call it a single stage, but keep in mind you take up some of the weight of the over all trigger pull with that first stage. Not only do you get your trigger finger in place and set to do it's work, you take up some of the weight prior to lift. My theory on coaching is to introduce this technique at a later time in a shooter's development.
Follow through ? It is a typical quantum effect. In the sense that the value of the shot does not only depend on the preparation of the shot, it also depends on what is done after the shot is already released :-)

[Bohr named it complementarity, meaning that in the quantum domain you cannot follow, in space and in time, what it is happening. So you are even allowed to think that there are, in reality, retrocausal effect (what is after influences what is before. A sort of follow through :-) In general, in nature, it is impossible to *prove* that A comes after B, or it is the viceversa. But this is another story.]
