I've been organizing 3-whistle clinics for the last several weekends, mostly to try to get better at it myself. We've done some men's NCAA and some women's NCAA. In men's the primary for the lead is a lot smaller than the primary for the lead in women's. A lot smaller. There's going to be virtually no time when the lead in men's would need to count. In women's the lead could have a count. And it's okay to do so. In looking at the Fed Official's Manual, it looks as though the primary for the lead is more in line with the primary for the lead in NCAA-W. So I'd bet that the lead could have a count, and it would make sense for L to do so, under certain circumstances. Jeff, the problem you point out of the ball moving out of the lead's area won't be a problem in women's since there's no count when the ball is being dribbled, only held.
