I guess my question would be acceptable to whom? I hear a lot of people talk about different things as to who has the last second shot and I do not hear many people that I respect advocating having the lead making this call on their own.

I seem to recall reading that it's also the NBA mechanic? Pre-defined that it goes to L on a throw with less than 3-seconds left (or something like that).
And, I agree with whoever said that the "best" mechanic (imho) is to give it to primary.

The last second shot is everyone's responsibility first of all. What I am saying is that only one person should be signaling is the Trail or the Center. Signaling and seeing are two different things. I think there is too much risk in saying, "In transition we will do this." Well every time there is a transition does not make the Center or Trail official totally screened or in a bad position to see the call. The Center or Trail might be in a better position than the Lead to see the entire play. I think you should let the calling official make the final decision and have the other officials help in that decision.
