I'm going to agree with Nevada. Your primary is called your 'primary' and not your 'exclusive' for a reason: that's where your focus should be. But you need to have ball awareness, as well as awareness of your partners, to follow the game correctly.
As a general rule, a quick glance at the ball or at trail to see if he's headed down the court (which trail will do after a made basket) are compatible with being a quality lead official. That's not to say that you watch the shot or the ball go through the net, which is not lead's responsibility.
Finally, on a court with known issues, you need to communicate with your partners, who will have the same problem you did when they are lead. Perhaps center could give a "made basket" signal to help out. Work it out so that you're all on the same page, and help each other -- that's why there's a crew.
