It's far more important for the lead to be watching the rebounding action than helping the lead on a goaltend or support wire call (by the way, the support wire is WAY up there and I can't think of a time when the lead should ever see that). Even in a 2-person game, most of the time the trail should be able to stay with shooter and still release in time to see goaltend or basket interference (and support wire issues) in time.

I am not buying what you are saying. Rebounding action is not so close to the floor that you cannot see the rim. If you have some big players, you are not looking at the floor.

Even in an athletic boys game, how many goaltends or basket interference calls are there? But there is potential for overagressive rebounding action (that can lead to trouble) almost every shot right? As lead, just back out as wide as you can. Maybe in a 2-person game, you can get wide enough to help the trail on a real obvious call just through your peripheral vision, but you shouldn't look up (besides, the trail shouldn't need any help on the obvious ones).

Well I am not looking at the rim for BI and GT calls. Those are usually looking way above the rim to even make those calls. But I am going to have to see arms and contact that is near the rim. The Trail cannot make all those calls in either 2 person or 3 person games.
Then again, we are all taught to do different things.
