I think that you and I are reading this play differently. The original post says

"towards the basket on the opposite side in front of the lead. I'm the T trailing the play. A2 dribbler contacts B1 at lane line"
It doesn't say "FT line", as you mention in your post. I'm seeing this contact as being on or very near the block, right in front of the lead. In that case, I'm leaving it alone.

If I'm wrong and your reading is right -- the contact is at the FT line -- then I'm more than happy to put a whistle on that.

Also (and this is not directed at blindzebra), somebody said that making this call keeps your partner and the crew out of trouble. I disagree completely. This is the only kind of play where coaches actually care about PCA's. "How can you call that from there!?!?! It's right in front of him!!!!" It makes it look like you're reaching -- which you are -- and it makes it look like your partner is inept.
