I am not a NBA historian, but from what I have been told this is how the NBA use to ref a long time with 2 officials. I know of at least one state, through conversations with other officials at camps, that uses this concept in their 2 man officiated games.

Without having experience with it, it seems like the court coverage would be much better than the current NFHS mechanics, and specifically would help clear the path for post play. Plus the trail official has a good wide angle of both sides of the court. Although if you have two teams that turn the ball over and there is transition, you could see some potential issues as your trail transitions to the lead.
