Not in my pregame.

The Trail would have this play if A1 and B1 crashed, but if a secondary defender, B2, tries to take a charge the official from whose primary area this defender came from has the whistle. So from where did B2 come from, Lead's or C's area? That is who makes this call.

Any other official, even if he has the dribbler, has no idea whether or not that defender got into position in time.
The only official who can get this call right is the one watching B2.
