Mechanically, this happened to me. I was trail. I hated the fact that my Lead was watching the rim. What else are we missing?

The AP Arrow is not the answer to this question. The T signaled a free throw violation by the shooter for not hitting the rim. The T is primary on this play and the only opinion that matters is the T's as to whether the ball hit the rim or not. The T has to make this call everytime and not let the L make the call for him. If the officials go to the AP Arrow or allow the L's call to stand, then every time the T makes a call concerning the rim on a free throw, one coach or the other is going to want the L to step and "help" his/her partner.
Officiate your primary and trust your partner.

Still, if the L sees something clearly different from the T, whether he
should see it or not, the L should give the T that information. It's our job to get the call right.
Of course, the L shouldn't be looking there.
