You mean the Center don't you?
In any case the Lead has a couple bodies passing between him and the player with the ball which can obscure his vision the feet/ball/etc.
In your first post you said the Center could see Lead was on the play. In transition there's no way any official should be looking at their partner to see where their eyes are. There's too much going on. In a half court set you generally get a feel for what your partners can and can't see but in transition -- all bets are off.
