Don't get me wrong, ladies and gentleman. I'm not a "you'd better not call in my area" ref. In this specific situation, however, there is no way lead should take this call. If lead is looking at a ball 14 feet in the air and trail is looking at a ball 14 feet in the air, who's looking at the 10 players vying for a rebound. I'd be a lot more concerned about missing a possible violent foul on the rebound than an out of bounds violation.
From the way the play was described, this wasn't an "Oh, My God. How did they miss that" play.
