Secondary defender, should be lead's call....

Good point, I thought the secondary defender goes to lead IF the Center has a no call or in a double whistle and no signal was given, the Center may give it up to the lead. Are you saying it always goes to lead(in this situation)? And are you talking from the Men's side or the Women's side?
I think the proper 3-person mechanic, Mens or Womens (sorry, don't have my CCA manuals handy) is for lead to pick up the secondary defender.

It's a play we see so often - dribbler beats his defender, secondary slides in to help. The rationale is that C (or sometimes T) may see the play from the beginning, but not the crucial point where defender establishes/does not establish LGP. This is especially true when the dribbler goes airborne, I think.

Still not sure about the difference between Men/Womens mechanics, though...

Regardless of the rule interpretation, the crucial thing here is who should have sucked their whistle?

As for the bucket - does the airborne shooter exception to the PC foul come into play here?
