Reset the ten second count?

If the L is still in the backcourt, as the original post said, then the ball had better still be below the back FT line. That's very unlikely 5 seconds into a 10 second count. The lead moves up court on a press as the ball moves up the court. The lead isn't supposed to be ball-watching either. Even on a double-team of a dribbler, there's 7 other players out there for the lead to keep an eye on. If the play happened on the L's sideline, maybe the L can help out. If it happened on the T's sideline though, especially if it's below the FT line extended, which is the way that it should be if the L is still in the backcourt, then the trail has the call all the way. And the L shouldn't be watching across the floor and deep to second-guess that call either.

To stop any confusion, here's my original post above. Note the statement "If the play happened on the L's sideline, maybe the L can help out". Any statements that I have made since then related ONLY to a save occuring on the opposite side line.

It seems that both of you might have missed this. [/B][/QUOTE]

And all this time I thought we were arguing about where the L should be standing.
