There is nothing magical about a stripe painted on the floor. That defender came from the middle of the paint and got maybe a few inches across the lane line. It isn't like the L is calling something 30 feet away. The L had no reason, before the contact, to even be over there. The L was tracking that defender from the middle of the paint to the point of contact. Only the L saw the whole play. At best, the C picked up the defender at the last moment.
