A1 drives to basket after receiving tip on jump ball and misses shot. A2 attempts to rebound and commits basket interference. Lead calls basket interference no other whistles from rest of crew. Game tape review shows correct call but should the lead be making this? Any reference to NFHS 3 man mechanics state lead should not make the call?

As Leads we are taught to not look up. In transition that changes. Bang bang plays occur all the time and too many officials wouldn't make this call for fear of being ridiculed or shunned for not "trusting" your partners. It's not a matter of trust but attempting to get the call right.
Does anyone know of a specific reference in the Officials Manual that states the Lead should not, cannot, must not, or never makes this call regardless of in transition or not?
Also is there a way to post videos here?
