A1 drives to basket after receiving tip on jump ball and misses shot. A2 attempts to rebound and commits basket interference. Lead calls basket interference no other whistles from rest of crew. Game tape review shows correct call but should the lead be making this? Any reference to NFHS 3 man mechanics state lead should not make the call?

I am fine with Lead making this call, sounds like it was in transition and given the situation right off the tip the Center and Trail were probably not in position to make the call.

If it's a correct call there shouldn't be an issue here.

Ninety-nine percent of the time, no. BUT, if its the right call and no one else has it then I think the lead should make the call.

Whenever the ball has not settled into the half-court, the lead can and should make calls normally covered by the trail when in a position to see it and even more so when the trail is not yet in the normal position.

We're talking three man here, GT and BI are often the C's responsibility as well. I think it's easier to say Lead can call both in transition, and it happens in D1 and pro all the time.

The same applies to 2 or 3 person. Lead has EVERYTHING in the frontcourt until his/her partner(s) are in frontcourt position to cover their areas.
