Kelvin hit the argument from within our board on the head. The book states that the official with the ball should glance at the table to see if any substitute has reported and is ready to enter. If the substitute is ready, the official will beckon him/her to enter (NFHS Officials Manual Section 116). Section 244 defines this as the Lead's responsibility for the second and third of multiple free throws. We have "book guys" on our board that feel since the book says it, that's the way it is. Others argue that it is during pre-game when this should be discussed and handled. The majority say trail in two and three man since they have an unobstructed view of the table. However, we have some rating committee members who have "dinged" people for bringing in subs as the trail, especially in a two man crew. Why, because the proper mechanic by the book says it's the lead's job. I personally can't believe that some people on our board get bogged down in this stuff!!!
