You are right about the lead not looking up at the basket. I agree with you there. The NFHS mecanics manual states that (and this is not verbatum) "The Lead should officiate from the waiste up. Halfwy between a close down, and wide angle would almost give you just that right angle to get the basket into your own view as well. Point being made though,I ate some crow for that. Part of being a referee.
