I need to see the play again but I thought C started raising his left hand to pound his hips before realizing L had a whistle, too. I do agree that this play 100 percent belongs to the L. No need for a double whistle.

I was watching at a bar (outside seating) so I was unable to hear the whistle cadence on this play. It would be informative to hear the timing of each official's whistle.

It looked like there bodies on the floor and the L had yet to blow his whistle; the C finally blew when he believed the L was not going to blow on this crash in the key. IMO the C should blow a foul as a secondary call of assistance if the L does not call an obvious foul; it should not be quick or happen on contact but the C can make a call when needed.

If anybody wants to know why NCAA-Men's wants their officials to put their hand behind the head for player control fouls, you just saw why.

The Center official is calling a PCF, but the announcers think he is counting the basket.

As far as who should take the call, where the contact occurred I can understand the Center having a whistle on this play. It is a secondary defender, but I believe he only has one foot in the paint when the contact occurs.

The announcer also was accusing the lead (Doug Sirmons) of calling a "block." Well unless they heard his voice or he said something that was by the contrary, there was no such signal from Sirmons. It might have been the wrong signal (NCAA changed it this year) from the Center, but certainly not a blarge by all accounts.

Seems like a correct call to me. Why do those of you who say "L's call" or "C should never have a whistle"say that?

IF it was really L's call, shouldn't he have taken it instead of giving it up to C?

Yeah, I retract my earlier post. That far up the lane, partially outside, I have no issues with C taking this play.
