If I were the Lead, I would give my C the first crack. If he doesn't come up with it, then I'm on it. But even in transition, we want the C to handle plays that originate on "his" side of the court. Lead can certainly grab it, but all things being equal, I'd prefer the C to have it.
Me too generally but on a play like that with huge contact it's probably better to have 2 quick and loud whistles as opposed to letting your partner have his crack at it first.

And if you watch the video again, you'll see that the C does have a whistle on the play, but Burr is so close to it that he's the one who jumps into the fray.
I would think even without blowing whoever is closest needs to get in there on that play.

BTW, did you see the whistle go into his mouth as he jumped into it? Boys & girls at home, do not do this.
