I couldn't agree more. That view is absolutely correct. So the obvious question is, why extend the Lead's "primary" outside the arc in the first place? If you know the post play is the priority and you know that the Lead has the best look at it, why don't you tell the Lead to stay with the post all the time and let the Trail handle anything outside the arc? The women's coverage is just silly, IMHO.
