At what point should my eyes stop watching the ball, since the play isn't technically in my primary anymore. Alot of times I find that B1 is between the Lead and A1, cutting off Lead's sightlines. Should I keep watching the play until I feel L has a clear sightline? Or is it the responsibility of the L regardless?

Sounds like L is out of position. As the ball nears L's sideline, L should slide over to cover the line. In addition to being in the right place for OOB coverage, L will avoid being straight-lined on the drive to the basket.
