I agree with you, maybe because I've been doing it the old way for over a quarter of a century, but, for sake of argument, that corner is out of the lead's primary. I will go on record that, in my case, over twenty-seven years, about 90% of my out of bounds calls, from the lead, that required me to ask my trail partner for help, came from this quarter of the front court, and, I'm guessing, that he, or she, was able to give me a call, without resorting to the arrow, or a "real" jump ball, about 75% the time. On the other hand, if we went to the IAABO option, how often would the trail ask for, and get help, from the lead?
