This is specifically called out in the men's manual (unless I really misinterpreted this)...not saying that everyone actually practices this, the juco game I had on Sat, no one else was comfortable calling this way so we just went with NF in this regard..but regardless of how it is practiced, if they put it in the manual there must at least be some justification - we must be able to assume that the L can at least SEE the play....that said, like I said basically I agree with you, there should not be many calls across the lane. ESPECIALLY blocks/fouls involving "body" contact, C has the best look at those and nothing irks me more than watching a play from my primary as C develop and I follow it all the way in and there is a little body contact with no advantage and L reaches over and calls a block...but the things that L can help with are the holds, smacks, things that happen in front of A1 that C could possibly get straightlined from...if you see those happen as L, I welcome the help as C...my whole point was just to let this person know that while you shouldn't be looking for fouls over there, that doesn't mean that you look the other way either...
