I saw a similar play in a game a couple of years ago.
Just to set up the situation, one of my former HS partners has finally made the "big time" and is going to call a D-1 game. I went to watch him. He was working with two veteran D1 officials. Transition play at one end, collision, whistle, no problem.

About two minutes later in the game, transition going the other way, lead is set in front of the play, collision, NO WHISTLE!!

I asked the crew after the game about it. My buddy piped right up with "my fault, I was the C, the play was on my side, I should have had it, I was late getting down the court"

When I got him alone a few days later, I asked him again, he told me that in pregame, his veteran partners were both very specific about making calls in your primary and staying out of your partner's primary. He felt that he had to take responsibility since he was the "rookie".

Frankly, it looked like crap for this collision to have no call, especially after a collision at the other end was called. I would have no issues with the lead taking this call after holding his whistle for a beat.

I think somebody in an earlier post said that coaches don't know or care about our mechanics, they just want the calls made. This is a good example of that.
