Think how foolish it looks, as you are standing 3 ft from the play and you don't blow because of "potential" post problems !!! BALONEY !!!

As the C, I will be all over the rebouding coverage, knowing that my L is "helping the trail " for a split second.
This post I think ties it all together. Coverage area is a guideline. If all ten player are on one side of the court and t and L are over there, does that mean that because the C has no one in their coverage area that he or she can just quit refereeing for a bit until some one crosses the magic line back into the C's area? Of course not. I think a big part of coverage area is match ups.

If I have four players in my PCA, two of which are bodie up fighting for position and two who aren't doing anything, who am I going to watch? The two bodied up.
In the play referenced in the OP, C has an important job and. That would be any match ups that era closest to him. It is Very unlikely in this play that anyone opposite the ball across the court would be doing anything that would warrant full attention. It is very likely that the nearest active match ups for C would be the impending rebounding action under the basket. That is where C should be helping out so T and L can cover their closest match ups. This play, just like any play, takes all three officials to do properly. They all need game awareness and full court awareness to everyone know what everyone is watching all of the time. Just my 2 cents.
