SM,
Lead official won't always be the R, though. Might have a crew of officials with similar levels of experience (years/games) but one of the officials has a better court presence when it comes to dealing with the coaches, players, etc. He might not be designated as the R, but he will display an 'R-like' presence on the court which can affect the whole atmosphere of the game. I sometimes think this is more important depending on the game, team matchups, stuff like that.
