T&C should usually be in "attack" mode while L should be in "Secondary defender" mode. Plays that the L call will usually be coming to them so they should have a patient whistle and the L isn't required to help as much as the T&C. Think travels or any above the rim play or after the shot activity (goaltend/BI).
As a L the only call I made outside my PCA was a drive that began almost at midcourt and the player by the time he got to the top of the 3-point line had his primary defender on his left hip and secondary defender came to help from the right side. There was contact that caused him to lose possession. I gave the T&C half a second to make the call, when they didn't I did. The T&C were straightlined by each defender to see the contact and I was the only one who could see through. If this player was dribbling East to West versus North to South I wouldn't have had an opinion.

Gotcha, that makes perfect sense. Thanks for the explanation.
