Lead needs to be engaged. He is just standing there not focused at all on the rebounding action.

What exactly would you like the Lead to do on this play?
In my opinion a rotation is not advisable as there is a shot from the FT line.
He can't call a foul for Red putting his backside into W10 on the way down as he is straight-lined from this contact. There may be a slight touch on the left wrist as W10 gathers the rebound, but that's hard to tell and he should not come across the lane for something that isn't obvious and with such little time remaining.
He may not even be able to judge the last shot as he has a great view of the release, but the red lights on the backboard may be too high for him to clearly observe from his endline position. Perhaps he can see the lights illuminate on the backboard at the far end of the court while looking at the shooter.
I think that it's hard to find fault with the Lead for anything here.

1. I have no problem with the starting position based on the players positioning for the inbounds pass. Would think he might have moved down as soon as the ball was received.
2. Looks like W10 gets undercut.
3. Shot was late.
4. Considering he counted it right away, I would assume no monitor available and we have to let him die with it unless we are certain or have other information to give him.

He is straight-lined because he didn't move to get an open look at the rebound. There are less than 5 seconds left, he should be working to see the ball, IMO.
