This L completely left his PCA and went out there and made a questionable call out of his area. And that seems to happen a lot in NCAA Men's coverage. Jmo...

Well you can disagree, but I am telling you what is being taught and instructed to do. It is considered the secondary coverage of the Lead by many. I got to enough of those camps to know what I have been told by guys you actually see on TV. I first heard this by a guy that won the darn Official of the Year Award recently. And if I had not seen this called a few times I would not have believed how wide spread this is practices. And it is not necessary to completely leave your primary to make these calls either. But I do not see why this is such a big deal, this would be in the PCA of a Woman's Official's Lead.
