3-Person Mechanics - NFHS

[imaref]

Mechanics change year-to-year ("move to improve").....but Fed changes only occur every two years....however, state associations can include their adaptations, if they choose. Here's my question:

In 3-Person.....Does the Lead official have three-point try responsibilities from the near sideline corner to the near free-throw line extended?
I think this is a FALSE statement.

However, some claim it's TRUE because mechanically, crews pre-game the sitch as Lead will assist C or T "in transition". The reference, 3.3.4 (B5), in the Fed Officials Manual is vague and to the best that I can interpret it.....I'd say the statement is FALSE. Anyone want to give me their take?
