Current officiating mechanics give this play to the Lead as it involves a secondary defender. The C has the action with the dribbler and the primary defender. Once she beats that player and the help defender comes from the lane to try to take a charge, the responsibility passes to the Lead.
That said, the call should have been a charge. The Lead needs to prepare for the play by moving to the close-down position instead of remaining out wide.
I don't believe that the Lead has time to rotate on this play as it is a pass to the wing and an immediate dribble drive after the catch, but he didn't give himself a chance by staying so wide. Getting to the close-down spot is necessary.
