On another front: this is one of those plays where as an NCAAW's official I say the problem could have been avoided if the C had taken the play from the start since the drive initiated from - and ended in - his PCA.

And yes, I remember from previous posts by the NCAAM folks that your mechanic is to have the L take these.

Don't you think that without the RA considerations that the Lead got the call right? In this play it looks like the Leads mistake was that when he reached the endline his eyes went up first instead of checking B2's feet for the arc.

There's the problem: you can't eliminate the RA consideration, which means the L got it wrong.

In NCAAW the L's responsibility would be picking up that player as the secondary and helping the C in case he was the one who mistakenly called it a PC.

What's funny is that this official, who has a pretty decent career going for himself, used to be overly demonstrative.

Not doubles coming from the slots side...

Thanks. I spend enough time trying to digest the info in the women's CCA manual

This was handled very well in this situation... the convo was a little long for my liking, but they got it right in the end. I agree with the rest of you in that the lead could've been a little sharper in changing his call to a blocking foul (this was probably the first time he had to do this though). However, the mechanics that he showed in changing the call were spot on.

And yes, if this were NCAAW, the C should be taking this all the way...
