Guys, while I agree that there are certain times that the Lead has to make the BI/GT call, this is not advice that I would give to a new official. Better to just let the Trail handle that stuff and allow him to focus on his primary responsibility--the contact.
For you sophisticated refs, it is my understanding that the reason the Lead sometimes has to make the BI/GT calls is that the Trail is not in position to do so. The main example is a quick steal and fast one-on-one the other way. In other words, the play happens so fast that the Trail can't get up court to cover it. Yet I do not think that hanging on the ring falls into this category, simply because by definition it is something that is a prolonged act. The Trail should be able to get into position for that. I would never call the T for hanging on the ring from the Lead. That's just me.
