Another split second goes by and the lead hasn't blown his whistle. My question: Should the trail call the held ball even though it's right in front of the lead (who quite possibly is shielded) and not in the trails area?

Wondering what you experienced officials would do...hope I explained it clearly enough. Thanks.
I'm sure Tomegun would love to answer this one.
