My thoughts:
1. Leave it alone and the Lead handle this play.
2. Clear PC for the push-off. Nice call and would like to see this made more often.
3. Absolutely in the act of shooting. At the NFHS level, I'm calling this an intentional personal foul. The foul negates an obvious advantageous position by the offensive player.
4. Let the C have this call, which he did. As the Lead, come get it if no call is made by a partner. This is an absolute must have as it is game critical. I don't like the showboating mechanic by the Lead, but I understand why he jumped on this play. The situation in the game (score and time remaining) may have warranted a faster whistle here than any other help situation during a contest.
