I agree...there is no way this "crash" should be called by the T...The T should have primary defender to the hole and there was none...Secondary defender stepping in should be the L and he got it right....I see no problem here with the L being able to determine if he has both feet down or not (which he did) especially if he is working off the end line a bit. As far as the contact not being with the torso....it may have not been with the torso but definitely to the torso....he was there.
I believe the "watching the feet" reference is referring to the fact that the out official can help with watching the feet of an offensive player when in the paint while the lead watches waist up, not watching the defensive player's feet.
As said earlier....great call, they don't get any closer than that.
