BNR, this sounds like one of those plays where the C physically can't see the contact and the L might have to help. I would say let the play develop and decide if you want to have a patient whistle. Also, the L must think about the players he/she is looking past and if he/she would be better served to accelerate if they aren't going to officiate the players in their primary.

Zebraman's comments really matter on these plays. So many times the C has the call whether they call it or pass on it. If there is a double whistle on the C's side of the paint - IMO - it should either be a non-basketball play or it is a play the L should have let the C call. This is where a patient whistle comes in.
