Having the lead make that decision, as refguy advocates, is completely ridiculous.

Seen this type of "out of the primary" call by a Lead at a camp a year ago. The supervisor of the conference brought the crew together after the game.
Supervisor speaking to the Lead after the game: Why did you make that call out of your primary?
Official: Because it was a foul.
Supervisor: Do you trust your partners?
Official: Yes, but I thought they didn't have the best look at the play.
Supervisor: If you're looking out there, then who is officiating your primary area?
Official: (Silence)
Supervisor: If you're gonna make a call out there, you're telling me that you don't trust your partners. They should take their paychecks and go home because you're officiating their areas. That call you make out there better be a non-basketball play or a 1000% correct call. Let your partners live or die with that call or non-call; I'll deal with them if it needs to be addressed.
