After watching it live and several times on SportsCenter I was wondering about the charge call on Lester Abram (#32) at the end of the game. I think the lead official got it right, but at the same time it seemed to be the Center's call first. He as well had signaled foul almost simultaneously, and it seemed that the Lead did not even glance to see if they had the same thing. I guess I couldn't see Centers mouth but it seemed like he was ignored? Any one have any insights?

I didn't see the call...but my 2 cents would be...

As lead, I sell hard & fast. I don't always check with my partners if I deem a call as "my call"...whether I'm in my primary...or just outside of it (believe me, I try to stick to my primary!) If I am C or T, I try to always have a slight hesitation in case we have a double whistle on a play.

I think you have to make sure that it IS yours especially if it is coming out of someoneelse's primary towards you.
