As some have already stated before, in a Two-Person Crew the U is the primary Official to make this call. I know when I toss the Ball, my first reaction is to protect myself from getting bumped into by the Jumpers and then and only then attempting to pick up the Ball. In the play being discussed, if I can turn toward the Ball and be of help as to who last touched the Ball, I will try.
