I vote YES to the question of "should the Lead have called the foul".

You can talk all the mechanics you want, but if I'm on the crew and the foul doesn't get called - I certainly am not looking forward to the following conversation(s) from the losing coach/supervisor:

Coach/Supervisor: didn't you see that foul?
Lead/Trail: I did but didn't call it - it's not in my area. (not a good way to answer that one)
OR
Coach/Supervisor: didn't you see that foul?
Center: I didn't have a good look at it.
Coach: WHAT?! You were 5ft away!
Center: I just didn't see it.
OR
Coach/Supervisor: didn't you see that foul?
Lead/Trail: I wasn't looking in that area.
Coach/Supervisor: you mean we've got 3 officials and none of you can see an obvious foul in the last 5 seconds of a game near mid-court?!!!!!

If everyone agrees that it was a foul - although none of us were there, I haven't heard anyone say it WASN'T a foul - then someone HAS to call it.
