I'll repeat the play I posted before.

Trail is opposite the table.

1 second left.

Throw in from the endline in the back court.

Screening action infront of C also in the back court.

Long pass to inside the 3 pt line in the front court opposite the table.

Catch and shot.

Let's break this down.

By the manual this try is trail's call, trail who is 65 feet away with no angle to see hands and ball.

Center is pinned at the division line, so they are 30 feet or so away with a slightly better angle.

Lead is right on top of it, stationary, with the play coming at him, and with an unobstructed view of the hands and ball.

This is a obvious in 3 whistle and a no-brainer in 2.
What makes you think the Trail cannot see that? Because it is on the other end of the court, he cannot see the shot? What if the Lead sees one thing and the Trail with another angle sees something else? Now what? At the very least the officials better make some kind of eye contact before there is a signal. All I am saying that there better be a pause before a final decision is made. You do not have to agree, but I think it is better to do that than have any confusion as to who has the call. I have yet to see this perfect pass that goes the length of the court and there is a shot. Sorry if I am skeptical with your point of view on this.

Peace
