Lastly, even if it wasn't his call, he stepped up and made the right call: to me that is more important.
Center has same side players, the shooter, the flight and the score.

I have heard this from my friends who work some college ball, but I have never understood how an official can see whether or not a player's foot breaks the lane-line plane when he is standing behind him. I believe that he HS way of looking opposite is clearly better.
I would welcome hearing the arguments for merits of the NCAA mechanic.
