If I am the lead I MAY open up a little and take the ball in that corner and hope that the trail stays down low, if I see him in my periphial looking at the ball, then I will go back down low. If I am the trail and I see the Lead take the ball in the corner, I will keep looking into the paint. But that corner is the Lead's PCA. I agree the women's coverage doesn't make sense to me either, more importantly, the trail taking that sideline all the way down to the baseline. If that area from the free throw line extended down to the baseline is the L's PCA, why not give him that sideline as well, he's already looking there anyways.
