Based upon the mechanics for NCAAW this would be the Lead's primary call. Unfortunately, the Lead made the wrong decision. I feel that this is a failure of the system. The is no way that the Lead can look through the body of the defender to see when the offensive play goes airborne. On the other hand, the C has a wonderful open-look at this action. Not surprisingly, the C signaled a charge. The NCAAW need to rethink the mechanic for this type of action.

This is the leads primary call in NCAAM too. Contact was with a secondary defender on a play going to the basket, and in the lane. The only difference between men and women is we would have reported both fouls, and gone to the arrow to determine whose ball.
