In your question about post play...
Lead generally has primary responsibility with the ball below FT line right? This play isnt any different.
As I said weve beat this horse we'll just have to agree to disagree
In 3 person, the Lead does not have responibility for anything outside of the 3 point line in NF or NCAA Men's. So it is very different, because you have a official looking at a place that they would have no responibility in the first place. That is why the Lead does not bring the ball in below FT line extended in 3 person. They do not have any responsibility at any other time. The Lead never has any sideline responsibilty or 3 point shot responsibility at any time according to NF or NCAA Men's. And if they do the only time it is allowed or provisions are made for that responsibility is transition. Other than that, the Lead should never be looking there. They primarily have the post and that is it. Now in 2 person, the Lead would have the the line of responsibility on their side of the court that they are on in NF.

I think the problem is you are getting NCAA Women's and WNBA completely confused with NF and NCAA Men's. Because the basic coverage areas are different in a half-court set.
