3-person crew reference, with diagram 3-18.

2-person crew statement is the same, at 2.3.2 B. 1. with diagram 2-18, in the NFHS Officials Manual.

The logic of Trail being responsible for the 5-second count on post players on the strong side is reasonable.
But in our area it is rarely called, and rarely neccessary. I can't remember when it's been pre-gamed.
And it seems that many, especially coaches, have the idea that a 5-second count doesn't apply to post players. I've been asked by partners why I had a count, as Lead, in both 2-man and 3-man, because they didn't think it applied to post players.
And I had a coach, a couple of years ago, tell me "You can't make that call on a post player!"
