I disagree a little bit. Transition is where you do not have primary coverage areas and you have to help. Not sure about who has the first crack at it, but the C would see this play clearly. The contact took place at the top of the lane and the could easily have a great open look. Both officials should be aware that any call might bring more than one whistle to this situation. Both should hold up until they are sure they are the only one with the whistle or they have communicated who takes it.
