"The blarge: it was coming your way, it's your call. The T should have given it up,"

This is a philosophy that is dramatically different than NF and in some cases (although it's getting better) NCAA coverage.
If the play started in Trail's primary, then Trail has responsibility to take it to the basket.
Remember as Lead, you don't accept the ball until it is CLEARLY BELOW the free-throw line extended. It really makes for a tough visual switch if you try to pick that up from Lead the the last second....
Drake, the way I read it B2 was in the restricted area, ie
in the paint under the basket. Maybe I'm misunderstanding
what you're saying but how can this be the T's whistle? The
way I'm picturing what happened the T must have been
straight lined by the dribbler and missed B2's forward
motion. Also, since B2 is coming in to help the L would
have responsibility for him as well because he should be
looking for this action in any case. I would think with the play right in front of the L the T has to be the one who
waits for a no-call from the L, then come in strong.
