Dan,
I don't know if this play was a restricted area play. Chuck????
And I'm not saying Chuck was wrong in his call. Just trying to state some philosophy.
Even at that, If I was Trail, I would take it to the hole, probably step down to try and get the best "open look" at possible. (We're taught that once the ball goes below the free-throw line extended, Trail needs to get to 28' mark. Or wherever the best angle to see the play is)
If however the Lead sees this is a restricted area play, If would hope that he/she would step up and make that known,
so the right call can be made.
I personally think the "it's coming at me"philosophy is on it's way out. The person that the play is "coming to" doesn't always have the best look.
