I agree that a "no call" may have been best in this situation. In the replay you see the Lead looking dead on the play and he chose to pass.
I think this play goes directly back to the
block/charge/(traveling) video thread (and Nevada's post in this thread) where I brought up the subject of primary and secondary defenders. The Lead is in perfect position to referee the defense as it applies to the secondary defender (B2). The Trail had a lot on her plate already with a very athletic A1 penetrating against tight defense from B1.
