I understand the womens side has the L work much wider, but still I don't see how the L could have both the foul & the shot. I suppose it could happen, but it seems both the T & C would have a much better view.

Well Tommy O'Neil (D1 Men's Official, works in the Big Ten and Big 12 and Mountain West) when I attended his camp last summer, told me that as the Lead, you still have to be aware of what goes on right outside of your area on the perimeter. When the ball is out there, he suggested that you still get an angle to see or be aware of what is going on with the ball in the corner.

In any even, as I said if it is OBVIOUS then someone has got to step up & fix it.
If it's close then let the L deal with it.

Again, we are splitting hairs. Because what is obvious to one officical, might be not so obvious to another. We do not have both sides of the story, just one official telling us what he thinks he saw. It is still the calling official's decision to make, all the other officials can do is give information. He might decide to reject the "help" and do what he feel he called. But he also stated that the calling official immediately waved off the basket. I have to at least trust my partner that he knew what he was doing. Now if he does nothing, then maybe I have to have a talk. But not when he is that adamant about it.
Peace
