Well per the NFHS mechanics manual, the lead's PCA can extend to the other side of the court
This is how APG and I have both been trained and are expected to officiate these plays.

To my knowledge, NFHS and IAABO mechanics require the L to rotate ball sidde in this situation. You aren't going to have an OOB play on the opposite sideline unless it's a skip pass, in which case it's not that difficult to make the call.

From the 2012 officials manual ... long but on topic
2.0 TERMINOLOGY
2.0.1 Ball Side: The location of the ball in the normal frontcourt offensive alignment of a team. In dividing the court down the middle, (using the basket as a center point), end line to end line. The side of the court where the ball is located is ball side. 2.0.2 Ball-Side Mechanic: Refers to the Lead moving across the key area to the ball side of the court, on the Trail’s side, resulting in both officials being on the same side of the court. The Lead moves ball side when the majority of players and the ball goes below the free-throw line extended on the Trail’s side of the court. This movement will allow the Lead to get a clear view of post play and eliminate being “straight-lined.” Primary coverage areas are adjusted when this occurs. 2.3.3 Ball-Side Mechanic: A. General Provisions: 1. The use of a ball-side mechanic should be thoroughly discussed at the pregame conference. 2. Ball and player location key the need for movement by the Lead. 3. The Lead should only move ball-side when the Trail is in the frontcourt. B. Coverage: 1. When the majority of players and the ball are on the Trail’s side of the floor, below the free-throw line extended, the Lead should close-down toward the near lane line and may move laterally to ball-side. 2. Playing action may dictate that the lead NOT initiate movement – even when the ball is on the Trail’s side – such as on a quick shot or a quick drive to the basket. Page 29 2.3 Court Coverage 3. Movement by the Lead across the lane should be brisk and with purpose. 4. Even while moving across the lane, the Lead must officiate players in the post (PCA). Lead should not be caught within the key area except when moving across or just briefly to view a play or drive to the basket from the Trail side of the court. 5. When the Lead moves across the lane, the Lead’s PCA is extended to include the area inside the arc. See Diagram 2-20. 6. When the ball moves inside the three-point arc, the Lead is now on-ball and the trail must extend coverage to assist with the open area on the opposite side. See Diagram 2-21. 7. If the majority of players or the ball swings back to the opposite side, the Lead should begin to quickly move back across the lane to cover the play. See Diagram 2-22. 8. If there is a quick shot or drive to the basket and the Lead is still on the same side of the court as the Trail, the Lead should close down to the near lane-line extended and officiate rebounding action. 9. If a transition to the other end of the court occurs when the Lead is ballside, the Lead must remember to go back to the other side of the court and into diagonal coverage. |
