If you work from a "referee the defense" perspective, sometimes it's better for the ref who's been following the defender throughout the play to take the crash. So if A1 drives down the key, and B1 is stationary in the key, Lead would take the crash, since L has been with the defense all along. T has been following the play, and continues to follow the ball.

IMO, this is a top priority for pre-game, especially to agree about it.
