Are they somehow absolving one member of the crew from having any responsibility here? Should he not call across the court if the situation is bad enough to warrant a suspension?

I would think that the one near the division line who was the new lead really has no responsibility for on-ball coverage deep in the backcourt. His attention should be on the players farthest from the ball. The Trail and Center are supposed to be covering this play. If there is anyone not really responsible for the series of non-calls it would be the new lead. That said, I don't know why he was still so deep in the backcourt if he knew he was supposed to be lead. I'm not hanging around that deep if I am lead. I might not be all the way to the far endline, but i'm going to be closer than that.
