Also, I noticed the lead bounce the ball the free throw shooter, then step all the way over the corner, one step in bounds. That was odd.

I'm guessing that was Higgins (Big East)? He seemed to be inbounds most of the time he was at lead - it was rather disconcerting to see.
Also, while NCAA men's and NFHS mechanics are technically the same, I'm guessing these guys pre-game some minor changes. The one that seems most obvious to me is the lead taking over a drive to the basket from C. While it is obviously best for the L to rotate over, and the C should have the drive, sometimes the C can be straightlined and not see contact on the torso/arms. It makes perfect sense for the L to come in and grab these.
