To me, if the ball is in your primary you are responsible for the ball in your primary and if there is a closely guarded situation...why is the trail officiating on ball in leads primary?
I think this is becoming a myth based on the ball and a dribbling CG count starting in trail or center's primary and then leaving it. In that situation T or C keeps the dribbling count until it drops.

This is why I am asking the very question.
This is also not a myth, NCAA Men's Mechanics makes it clear they do not want the Lead to have a count. I was under the impression that the NF had the very same information in their book. I also think the Lead is not in good position to make such a count. If the ball leaves the Lead's area, then how are they going to know if the count should continue? They would also have to come out of looking off ball which is in my opinion the reason they are suppose to be looking at in the first place.
