I was able to attend the Boston-Phoenix game last night (free tickets) and have a question about the philosophy of calling the NBA game. I know that some of the folks on this board have had some NBA-type exposure and may be able to comment.

I can remember two specific plays that originated from the trails coverage area, player drives to the basket toward the lead. Ball comes loose and there is no whistle from either the trail or lead, but after a second or so delay, the center makes a call.

To me, this just seems the opposite of what three-man mechanics are there for. I know the NBA does some things differently, but just wondered about the philosophy in this particular situation.
