I believe that the half of the lane opposite the Lead should be a dual area. I know it takes discipline to hold off on this and I try it when I am working 2-man but I just always feel I have the better look.
The only time I feel the C has a better look is when a player gets beat and the player is hacking from behind.

Because generally (not including little kid ball) there are lots of big bodies between the L & the other side of the paint. This means the L doesn't *always* have the best look and the L *usually* is preoccupied with what's going on in front of him.
Also, the C should have the best view of the matchup on his side to pick up LGP and he has the best view of arm contact on short jumpers in the paint & on his side.
The L *might* be able to reach across & help with secondary defenders who come forom his side to the other side but in that case he should probably be moving over anyway to anticipate the wreck.
