If you watch his head it is following the ball in to the post play and has to physically turn his body just to see the play. I would argue that the Trail's new primary is in the post on the strong side of the floor and the Lead should allow Trail first crack. CCA Manual for the Women's side actually gives this responsibility to the Trail when the Lead has a competitive matchup near the three point line.
Oh and this is a close play, but I'd have gone with offensive foul on this one.

Given the way the play - and positioning - unfolded, I'd agree. Once the ball went into the corner and it was obvious the L was looking at that matchup the T could have moved his eyes to the paint. It's still T's secondary but there wasn't much going on his primary so we're told to anticipate the next action area, which would have been the lane. My guess is L blew because there was contact in his primary and there obviously had to be some kind of call even if he wasn't sure. I'm thinking if he waits a beat the T grabs that one. The C would be the emergency whistle.
