Peace
When the ball goes below the free-throw line extended, even beyond the three point line, the lead is on ball. In that case the trail needs to pick up action in the lane. I understand your argument JRut. I realize that there is action in the lane that is going to be hard for the trail to see. However, there are plays that are just as hard for the trail to officiate when the ball is below the free-throw line extended. Having the lead open up on the play and officiate is not such a bad idea, as long as the trail picks up the leads lane responsibilities. Its also not a bad idea in this case if the C reaches a little to pick up what the trail can't see.
