Yes....go ball side.

The trail can't cover a contested on-ball play in the corner, maybe another match up at the FT line extended, and the post action.

If the ball is in the trail's corner, the most likely pass is to the post or back to the other pair in the trails primary. You get over there and turn back to cover the post but look through the post to keep your eye on the few players on the weak side. The on-ball official should very rarely be left covering the 6 players most involved or likely to be involved in the play. And if the lead stay's home, they can't see that post across the key and the other 4 players on their side anyway....the angles don't work.
