The C should have worked to see the gap between the offense and defense and get that call. That is not the T's secondary area.
By definition, there are still several players on the T's side of the floor (or else the L would have rotated to the C's side earlier). Therefore the T has a job to do in this case which does NOT involve getting sucked into ball-watching the drive.

I agree with this for the most part . Good to hear "pinch the paint" C should work to get the best outside /in angle. However if the drive happens quickly and away from the C the angle sometimes can't be seen either by C or L. Again, sometimes if T has most of the players in front of him and refereeing outside in the T could have a very good look @ this play. I didn't say this play was T's secondary because it's not. I gave this as a example why you might have to get a call that is out of your primary. However lets take T out of it and say L gets the foul which is his secondary. It's still a call that needs to be gotten that technically is in C's primary.
