The L really didn't need to wait on the entry pass. By that time it's too late, with or without a fight.
This was a pressure situation in the midcourt area (note to Billy & MTDS...yes, I remember what the midcourt area is
). At any rate, the C is supposed to force that rotation but he can only do it if all three officials are in the frontcourt. If the T had gotten into the frontcourt sooner, the C could have moved towards the division line - or the T could have moved into the C position on his side - to bring the L across the lane.
