Two questions:
1) is there anything to be called in this scenario?
2) if so, whose primary jurisdiction?
Feel free to finish it with whatever appropriate insight can be made.

If there was anything to call, it'd be a technical foul.
Rule 10-3
Player Technical
A player shall not:
Article 6...Commit an unsporting foul. This includes, but is not limited to, acts or conduct such as:
e. Climbing on or lifting a teammate to secure greater height.
Now this is definitely HTBT situation. As to who would have the call, I'd say probably the trail or center would have this call.
