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 did a scrimmage earlier this year and had a similar situation call in transition. Now there was no intentional or flagrant foul situation in my game, but we did have a transition play where I was the Lead on the opposite side of the ball. We had a crash with two players and I did not have a great angle and did not make a call. My partner the Center did not have a call either. Our assignor was there and ripped both of us a new one about not calling a foul. I did take the logic that the ball was on his side, but according to my assignor that was not acceptable. I was not in the best angle and I could kind of see the play, I just found myself straight-lined. So I passed on the play thinking my partner was going to pick it up. We both took heat for not calling anything.
Peace
