First of all, if you were T and then there was a steal going the other way, you don't have a sideline for the players to be going toward. You have an endline only, since you are now the new L. It is important to remember whose responsibilities are where.

I'll disagree....The new lead should continue to cover the sideline until the new trail is in position to cover the line. The new trail rarely picks up on a steal the instant it happens and is often not in a position to cover the line if they are covering the post action. It's only for a couple of seconds but the new lead can't leave the line uncovered just because the new trail has responsibility.

Cameron,
Maybe it is just a matter of semantics, but the T becoming new L does not have that responsibility. His responsibility is the baseline. That being said, there is nothing wrong with him "giving assistance" to the new T until the new T gets into a position where he can cover his area of responsibility.
