Trail handles player control

[Chris Whitten]

Is it ever ok for the Trail official to call a player control foul in the paint when the play did NOT originate from his primary? Saw it this weekend with 3 veteran officials in HS play. Play originated just inside the free throw line and was an obvious charge about half way down the lane, but neither the L or C hit their whistle. Trail was about a tic late but came in and got it. Right call, but it just seemed odd.
