I think the problem is you are looking for a one or the other to make a call. The primary (especially in the back court) is the Trial's responsibility. But if the Lead has to help out, they can make a call. But if the Lead is not in position or on the other end of the court, then the Trail has to take responsibility for the play.

Rut,

I was with a college guy the other night and we had this play and we both had whistles. We had the same call. After the game, we had a spirited discussion and it was obvious that he did not like me putting a whistle on "his" line. I know college guys are like that much more so than high school guys (me).

This play got me looking for the exact moment that the new trail would assume sideline responsibility. You may be right that there is no one exact moment on every play.

Anyway, Nobody wants to address my question: What does the verbage mean? "after determining sideline responsibility"
