Narrative:

We were executing the visual portion of our approach to runway 18L at mem. We were cleared to land and at 200-300 ft AGL, about to pass over runway 27. First officer was flying and spotted a red light transport Y flying left to right immediately in front of us at our altitude. First officer turned slightly left and descended slightly to pass behind light transport Y. Light transport Y did not appear to see us and appeared to be flying level down the runway on a go around from his approach to runway 27. Tower said nothing to us about it until after event was over, then said 'go around traffic on runway 27.' mem runs 2 towers, 119.7 for the parallels and 118.3 for runway 27. Tower coordination needs improvement and some protection for gars on runway 27 needs to be developed when landing runway 18L/right. This is the second time this has happened to me in VMC conditions at mem. Additionally, we got a TCASII TA at about 400-500 ft which I ignored due to the numerous targets on the TCASII screen and the numerous false TCASII warnings I have received in close to the runway. This one was completely correct, but I have been conditioned to ignore these warnings because they have all been false, generated by ground aircraft, parallel traffic, etc, before.

Title: MLG ON SHORT FINAL TO RWY 18L HAD NMAC WITH AN LTT ON GAR ON RWY 27. LATE NOTIFICATION BY THE TWR.

Narrative: WE WERE EXECUTING THE VISUAL PORTION OF OUR APCH TO RWY 18L AT MEM. WE WERE CLRED TO LAND AND AT 200-300 FT AGL, ABOUT TO PASS OVER RWY 27. FO WAS FLYING AND SPOTTED A RED LTT Y FLYING L TO R IMMEDIATELY IN FRONT OF US AT OUR ALT. FO TURNED SLIGHTLY L AND DSNDED SLIGHTLY TO PASS BEHIND LTT Y. LTT Y DID NOT APPEAR TO SEE US AND APPEARED TO BE FLYING LEVEL DOWN THE RWY ON A GAR FROM HIS APCH TO RWY 27. TWR SAID NOTHING TO US ABOUT IT UNTIL AFTER EVENT WAS OVER, THEN SAID 'GAR TFC ON RWY 27.' MEM RUNS 2 TWRS, 119.7 FOR THE PARALLELS AND 118.3 FOR RWY 27. TWR COORD NEEDS IMPROVEMENT AND SOME PROTECTION FOR GARS ON RWY 27 NEEDS TO BE DEVELOPED WHEN LNDG RWY 18L/R. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME IN VMC CONDITIONS AT MEM. ADDITIONALLY, WE GOT A TCASII TA AT ABOUT 400-500 FT WHICH I IGNORED DUE TO THE NUMEROUS TARGETS ON THE TCASII SCREEN AND THE NUMEROUS FALSE TCASII WARNINGS I HAVE RECEIVED IN CLOSE TO THE RWY. THIS ONE WAS COMPLETELY CORRECT, BUT I HAVE BEEN CONDITIONED TO IGNORE THESE WARNINGS BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALL BEEN FALSE, GENERATED BY GND ACFT, PARALLEL TFC, ETC, BEFORE.
