Play 2: With latest scrutiny to get the block/charge right, the new L should be officiating the defense to observe if initial guarding position is established. The palming violation in question happens so quickly that I could understand if it was missed.
I know this, if the L called the palming violation, an observer in the conference I work would ask, "If you're looking out there (the offensive player), how can you judge if the defender was in LGP?"
