This is getting interesting. Let's think about all the plays that could happen in a basketball game. If you look at all the plays the C would call - plays that are not in a dual area, but clearly in the C's primary - and divide them up into two categories: plays where the Lead should have a whistle and plays where the Lead shouldn't have a whistle. Now, we all know the plays where the Lead should NOT have a whistle will outnumber the others by a mile. Having come to that conclusion, what should that Lead plan for, to call across the lane slow whistle and all or not call across the lane? Common sense would say to plan not to make calls across the lane. Since the OP may get confused with backside help, stop right there! Don't call across the paint. If you feel like you just have to look over there, rotate over there. If you feel like you have to look out top too...well then you are watching the ball and that is a whole different subject.
