That probably is the current mechanic. I know it is the three man mechanic, where areas can overlap.
It makes sense, too. That way the trail can "release" the player once it makes sense for the lead to call the foul.
It's been years since I've been to a camp, so any recent teachings are appreciated by this newly-returned-to-the-game-"vet".
But again, why do some officials make the "double whistle" the unpardonable sin of officiating basketball as long as only one official actually "calls" the foul? It seems that this attitude, while emphasizing off-ball coverage, drives a stake through the "team" aspect we all strive for.
Just trying to understand,
Rich
