There are fine reasons for them (like the lead following somebody driving from their PCA into the lane), though.
So what if the play takes place in the lane? Many of the players are going to be in the lane and most of the competitive match-ups will be there if the ball is there as well. So that is one reason I would be looking there as a T or C for sure. And the Lead is not going to see certain plays as they spin away from them or the contact or violation happens while the lead is looking through bodies.

Even in a two person game (which I was not originally referring to), there are plays on the back side that would be only seen by the T and not the L. So you might have a double whistle easily for those reasons.

PCA does not mean, "only my area." It means it is your primary, but there are several reasons to have secondary coverage.

Peace
