I'm not saying tjat you
have to leave the competitive matchup. If the ball comes into your primary unguarded, then you can pick up the ball and still watch those two guys in the post. If the ball comes into your primary with a defender, then you have a new competitive matchup that has priority over that matchup in the post. If you can watch them both, great. But if not, the official who has the primary area should pick up the primary matchup, which is
always the ballhander and defender.
And your partner will pick up that post action immediately. If you haven't blown the whistle yet, then your partner hasn't missed too much. Otherwise you'd have already called a foul in the post, right?

And you are saying that as soon as I rotate I have to pick the ball up just because it's in my primary, even tho my T(previously C) who has been on the "play" from it's beginning is still right there?

Yes, otherwise, why rotate? If your C can handle the ballhandler fine, then let him/her. If you rotate over, then as soon as the rotation is completed, your C gives up the play and rotates to Trail and you have on-ball coverage. I mean, that's exactly why you rotated, isn't it?
