Yes it was a B/C violation ... just wanted to know what all thought about the C calling a B/C violation. Thanks!

Absolutely the C's call in this situation. T is stuck deep, C is right there and sees it - go get it. Beautiful call for the C to make.

The T is way behind the play and has trouble seeing it. First, is this a violation and second is it o.k. for C to call this?

1 billion % yes. It is ok for the C to call this violation.

Part of my pre-game is that C has primary responsibility for any violations between the free throw circles in transition, even on the opposite side of the floor.

I'm the one who brought this up; I felt when I made it that it was a good get for C and that was confirmed here.

My play was slightly different. B1 steals the pass in transition with both feet just inside the front court. As he takes off towards his basket, his back foot steps back onto the line as a sort of momentum gathering move. I hit it as C and feel good about it. T didn't see it the same way and questioned me on it later.

Not only is it "o.k.", it's expected for C to call this.

This has a 100% high certainty

of being correct. This has been discussed in other threads and as stated before, the Officials Manual gives provisions for transition. 3.3.5 C(2) states that the C is responsible for fouls and violations between top of the circle in the backcourt to top of the circle in front court. And I take this to mean sideline to sideline.

Once the transition is over (ball in the frontcourt) cover your PCA.
