Dan,
I, as Trail, have always maintained my area of responsibility (my 3/4 of the Front Court). Just because the Lead came over I have never consciously given up the base line area up.

As Lead, I git across the lane and turn back toward my primary and am ready to assist, not take over, in my partner's primary.

I have never heard, or read, about giving up a primary in a two-whistle. Yet, it's an automatic in 3-whistle.

Additionally, with the Lead on the strong side and the ball headed in the other direction, the Trail (New Lead) stays on that side of the court, and the Lead (New Trail) crosses over, to box the play, to the side for which he originally had primary.

Mick,

I think we're saying almost the same thing here, let's see.
As lead, you go ball side in order to referee the low post
stuff (essentially). You've turned somewhat away from
your primary, the trail now has resposbility for the
far side low post & lane line. Agree? We also agree when
the ball goes the other way the lead goes back to his
original side. My point is that the lead now has more
responsibility on the strong side than the trail did,
and the trail now has responsibility on the far side
low post, which he did not have before. Agree? This new
responsibility is why the trail swings up a few steps
around the 3 pt arc. If we agree then the lead should have
the ball as it approaches the ball side end line. I
think this is where we disagree. No?
