While the C does have the plays from sideline to sideline the C does not necessarily have the ball. It would probably be better to say the C has the pack in transition and from 3-point line to 3-point line during a press as long as the Trail has players he must watch further back in the backcourt.
I had a game on Sunday and my partner called a foul on a player around half-court on my side of the court. In this particular situation I had the ball as the trail since the press was broken and the other players were now moving up the court. From his angle he saw contact. From my angle, trailing the play, I saw that the defender and dribbler were going in straight lines up the court until the dribbler decided to move towards/slightly in front of the defender to initiate contact. Like previously discussed in another thread the defender did not do anything illegal. He didn't do anything except run up the court. If my partner would have noticed where the majority of the players were on this play he would have realized that I didn't have anyone else to look at so I had this play.
