Devdog,
Unfortunately, what I am saying is that the ball never entered the backcourt on the play at all. From the replays that I saw, the ball did not hit the line on the bounce, and then was caught by the AZ guard while he was still standing in the frontcourt, so there is no possible way that it was a violation.
While I agree with the teamwork thoughts that others have shared and believe that there certainly are times for the C to call b/c, I don't believe that this play was one of those situations as IMO the T was not blocked out from the play. He could not see whether there was a foul or not when the ball was dislodged (the C had this look), but he certainly could see who hit the ball last and had a great view of whether or not the ball hit the division line.
I'd say that this was one of those plays where someone went out of his primary and kicked it. Lower percentage call. Just add it to the stats those guys track.
Again my real problem with the mechanic on the play was that the same C and T (don't know if they were in reversed positions or not) both had the call on that earlier play that I mentioned in my original post.
Due to this fact, it seems the teamwork and trust wasn't as good as it should have been for these partners and this is what led to the erroneous call.
If I'm T and my C calls the violation once and is helping, fine with me, but twice, (and gets it wrong) I have to feel like he is uncomfortable working with me and doesn't trust my judgment.
