You make the call!

C may have been a step late to see defender before contact. I've been taught that in quick transition the L has the best opportunity to see this type of play.

In the video, the new lead really took off on the rebound and appears to have perfect position on the endline to view the play. Hard to argue with his no call.

We're taught here, as lead, to either rotate in transition or, if you can't make it over in time, let the C have the first crack at this call. In this play, it looks like the play happened quickly enough that lead couldn't get over.

Either way, it looks like a flop from the camera angle.

I just stated how I would officiate the play. You can bet your sweeta** that was a secondary defender in transition who drew contact in the upper torso..

Secondary defender? Maybe I'm confused, but how do you define secondary defender? The defender who went down on this play sure looks like the primary defender of the guy with the ball. If he's a secondary defender, then the shooter is a secondary offender.

We're all watching that defender, and let's just say the contact does not appear to be what knocks the defender 4 feet backwards. Does that mean there wasn't a foul? Not necessarily, but the C was in good position and I'd defer to his decision.
