Subject: Sweeping Rules

Question:
I'm just not sure what to think. The sweeping rules are vague. Can the lead of the throwing team sweep an opponents rock or is that reserved for the skip or vice? I was always led to believe that if an opponents rock is set in motion, only the skip or vice can sweep it..once it passes the T of course. Help...Rob
