I like the philosophy, but don't agree 100%.
On this play, as the photo shows, L's primary could well include the KU player being pursued by MSU #1 and cutting by MSU #2. It's the closest competitive matchup besides the two guys across the paint - who aren't doing anything. And even then, L has to be watching wide enough to include the cutter, who starts the play well within L's primary.
As I stated before, I don't think C has a good enough look - too many bodies to see through.
I don't have a problem with L following this play - but he shouldn't have blown his whistle here.
Not because of primaries/secondaries, etc...but because there was no foul.
