"Pass and crash" is used for the following situation:
A1 is driving the lane, apparently going for a shot, but, at some point (either while on the floor or in the air), passes the ball to A2. A1 (now without the ball) and B1 then collide.
In this sort of play, the instinctive thing to do is to follow the ball, and you can end up with two officials watching A2's shot, while no one knows who fouled whom in the A1/B1 collision. In the quote you described, the lead official will watch the A1/B1 collision to see whether it is a block or a charge, while the trail will watch the pass and the new ball handler (A2).
FWIW, I usually do this the opposite way. If the drive starts from the perimeter, the trail would take the "crash" and the lead would watch the "pass."
