Actually calling it in this particular case might be open to each individual official's judgement, but that's a different discussion.

I see your point, and I think you'd agree that if the trail were calling and reporting, it would be the lead who'd have all the players in their primary, right? My point was that just because the ball is dead, doesn't mean that lead is off the job. This happened so fast, that I think the play should still be in Lead's primary, right? If they'd pre-gamed that the other ref would call the second one in a bang-bang situation, then I could see the Lead holding the whistle, and Trail coming in strong to sell the call. I would hope they'd have eye-contact first. But, if no pregame, I'm at trail, I'm calling nothing on this, unless Lead had very obviously turned back on play.
