Louisville/Baylor (Women)

Just because the C can make a call does not mean the L cannot make a call. That sounds like a cop out to me on many levels. Even in the NCAA Men's side where they say the L takes these calls it does not mean that the other officials ignore a foul. They only talk about the L taking the call if there is a double whistle, not swallow your whistle. And the L has to anticipate there is something going to happen.

Rut, I agree with you too. The final foul was the C's primary and I'm guessing she didn't have a whistle because she really couldn't see the contact. Secondary is the L and we're told to wait a beat to give the C a chance but we're also supposed to anticipate what our partner can't see. I'm guessing the L held off because there was no way - in his mind - the C couldn't see the contact. Thankfully, he got it.
