The way you people are talking is that both officials should have been watching the crash. Hmmmm....I guess where the ball goes should be ignored..nothing ever happens there.

We discussed this point before in the thread.
As you clearly know, there is a difference in the mechanics between NCAAM and NCAAW. This is the type of play in which I believe that the NCAAM mechanic does better. The Lead probably has the best idea of the positioning of the secondary defender coming over in an attempt to draw the charge. The Trail had the primary defender and the ball handler. Pretty tough to also pick up the other defender at full speed. However, it is not very difficult for the Trail to switch over to the shooter in the corner and cover that play.
The Lead, in NCAAW, is torn between trying to watch two things in that official's primary on a play like this. The NCAAM just let the Trail take the shooter in the corner while the Lead focuses on the play near the block.
