I'm not saying that the T can't make this call, but the L should have first crack at it b/c he/she isn't following the ball as closely through the T primary and can better see if Augustus was there or not. I think the L passed on the call.

Nate, though this thread has meandered off course a few times since I initiated it, this is basically where I was looking for discussion to go. What is everyone's philosophy as to who should have 1st crack when a
secondary defender (yes, I know, it's not an official phrase in the NFHS/NCAA rulebooks) slides in to draw a charging/PC foul in or near the lane in front of the Lead?
I subscribe to the same school of thought as you, that the Trail (or in some cases the 'C') doesn't have the best view as to initial LGP of the secondary defender and the Lead should take responsibility for that call. But others, like
RockyRoad, have the philosophy that the official from where the drive initiated takes 1st crack at any resulting crash. It's a play that needs to be pre-gamed to make sure everyone is on the same page.
