I agree. The line belongs to T, so I'd say if it's a matter of a dribbler stepping on the line or a pass receiver having backcourt status, it's T all the way. But in terms of who was last to touch in C's PCA, I think C should defer momentarily to T in case T has a call to make, but if T doesn't and C has a violation, C has to come in with a secondary whistle.
Now let's say C gets a trap in his primary near the division line. This is that situation where C has to go officiate the trap, thereby forcing a rotation (the one time that L doesn't initiate the rotation). When this happens, C becomes T, and if there's a violation (or a foul), the "new T" makes the call as he well should.
