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.

Most of us will never be like you, though, mick. So we need those little helps whenever we can get them.
