Three person question

[Jay R]

I am working three person this year for the first time. At our local clinic, we discussed a foul on the Center's side of the basket. Generally, we were told that the lead must be patient, if a foul occurs on the C's side (ex: a drive to the basket) that the C has first crack.

When I watch NCAA games on TV, I notice that most of the time the Lead tends to take that call. For example, when there is a double whistle, the L invariably takes the call.

Does this philosophy vary?
