This works.

Officials Manual 310. "The lead official ... has end line responsibility."

Completely true. However, there are times when the Lead may be doing a good job of watching a competitive matchup and the ball goes out so far in the corner that it's hard to tell if it was endline or sideline. In that case, I appreciate a C that takes that one (part of pregame).

Sure Z, that can happen, but not to me.
It's still my whistle because of my great court awareness.
