Then we agree. He was still moving sideways into the path after upward motion began (if it had been an NCAA-M game).

I also agree with you that this is the L's call. The C would have had to shift off the double team that the shooter was splitting to pick up the 3rd defender while looking through the shooter and the two defenders that the shooter just split. Could the C get it and get it right? Possibly, even probably if the sight line just happened to open up but he still may not have picked up the 3rd defender early enough to know with certainty whether he was there in time or not.

That defender came from the center of the lane, was still in the lane at contact, and it was the only possible matchup the L could be looking at. The L would have the best knowledge of how the defender got to the spot.
