TX,
This is officiating 101. The lead should NEVER see the ball go in the basket on a free throw! I see this all to often. The shot goes up and the leads head follows the flight of the ball. You should use peripheral vision to determe that the shot has passed the plane of the rim only. Once that has happened you should be focused solely on the lane violations and subsequent rebounding action. This is something that you should strive for. The lead should also not see basket interference, either. Sorry to preach, but this is a sore spot with me.
