The mechanic you describe is less than goofy. The NBA 2 man does it that way, and it makes sense in many situations to call it. It is pretty much the common practice where I ref... Trail has first shot at most plays OOB above FT Line extended.

I have to agree here, too many times the ball goes out up high here and because it is out of the Leads primary there eys are not trained near the ball, the Trail has a great look because the ball is already in their primary and they are looking at it already. I know I usually need help if the ball goes out high on my sideline so the Trail usually ends up making the call anyway.

It's fine if you need help. Get the help. However, the first shot should come from the lead official. It's his/her line. Another place where we could get a double call.
Once again, I ask the question -- if I'm looking off ball as the lead and the ball shoots out on the baseline opposite -- why don't we give that one to the trail who is on ball in primary?
We just don't. If I need help, which I sometimes do, I get the help. But it's still my call to make.
