The lead official is not responsible for 5-second closely guarded counts in his/her primary coverage area?
The original question does not ask about a play going from one PCA to the Lead's PCA. There are no "what ifs." Simply states as is, the answer is False.
NFHS manual says that the official that has primary coverage is responsible for the five second count. 3.3.2 B.
What are the alternatives? The Lead will not call closely guarded infraction in his PCA (ignore and benefit the offense), or Center (or Trail) will have his eyes in the Lead's PCA to make the call (ball watching).
