3-whistle coverage in transition

That is absolutely correct...however, the L does have the opportunity to help out...as was stated before, if the C hasn't gotten down there yet, take it and sell it hard... if the C is down there, lay off the whistle - unless it's one of those "Oh my God" types of fouls...

From the 2002-03 CCA Women's manual (may be different in men's manual): "During a fast break in transition...in one-on-one situations, with the play originating in C's area and a foul committed on the drive to the basket, C makes the call." If this is a double whistle situation, the C needs to take ownership of the call and take it to the table...
