Thanks

NCAA the lead does not have a 5 second count. It is in the mechanics book but I do not have it right now. It also has a diagram that shows the coverage. Trail & Center are the only ones that count 5 seconds.
I'm not so sure about NFHS. JR?

This is incorrect. What if A1 has a closely guarded dribble for 3 seconds outside the paint and then continues into the paint. This would be a 5 second call before the 3 second call.
