I'd expect, as a lead, to be able to ship this with a single whistle and not have to wait to make sure a c didn't make a call. If the c blows on it, it should be after the l has nothing.

I jokingly say "lead is king" in these situations, but i do think there's too much of an effort to give calls where the lead is best positioned to make a call to outside officials.

yes!
