Once the shooter got around the primary defender, which is the T's all the way to the shot (even into the Lead's PCA), the T would have to acquire the secondary defender coming from the lead's primary...which is generally considered to be unreliable and why the L is expected to cover help defenders coming into the play from their primary.

My $0.02...regarding the L (i.e., you): It may be just me but when I think "acquire the secondary defender" I think picking up him/her to be prepared for contact in the lane. It's probably a function of having the "don't call across the lane" thing hammered into my head from NCAAW but during my pregame in 2-person games I tell my partner I
won't pick up a play like this as the L if the defense is outside the lane unless the defender gets there really late or he/she grabs the offensive player by the arm. Again, it may just be me.
Regarding the T: I think he could've at least anticipated the second defender coming over which meant he would've been ready for contact (i.e., looking for the next matchup). A1 got past B1 with one dribble so the next thing to go through L's head could've been "B2 should be coming over any second now." It's good there was a whistle put on it but I still think the T could've gotten it.
