I am suggesting that when the ball is in leads area that ther lead has the ball. This is no different than any othr time on the floor.

The who is going to call the sideline stuff in hooey anyway...
Ball goes OOB high in a two person game who calls it most of the time even though its lead's line... Trail! Trail because trail had the ball, was refereeing the ball and the ball went OOB on far side line.

In NBA (and NCAA womens) when the ball is below FT line lead has the ball and the primary area is the ball not the low post guys.
When the ball is out there towards sideline how is it any different on a throw in on the baseline when the lead hands the ball, starts a five second count and refs the ball, and has secondary responsibility for the ball going into the low post? On the sideline versus baseline.. might be an extra few feet away from the basket but lead is still closer to ref the play cersus trail or center

I belive this is a common sense mechanic
