1. I don't believe he was the one that was the one right there. Didn't he come in from elsewhere to seperate them?

Steratore was the C during this transition play. Not only did he SEE the UL player get off the ground and get in Greiner's face...he sprinted from his C position apporx. 20ft to separate the two players. His whole reason for getting between the two players was because he saw what was happening and did not assess the T.

He witnessed the ENTIRE post foul interaction! This is one of the my primary pieces of evidence that he was a reluctant participant in the entire game. Rather than effectively officiate and control the game, he recoiled. This game was played at 1 or 2 "notches" above his level.

And again, none of the officials in this game get more blame than the others for missing that call. The L was right there on the call as well, and she didn't get it either.

I do plan to get the relevant clips from this game posted. Hopefully I will be able to get a decent internet stream from ESPN360 sometime in the next millenium.

On the last transition drive to the basket I sure would have liked to have had the C show a little more hustle to get good position. Once BG got beat past mid court, it was obvious where the play was going.

How about a quick rotation from the lead?

No. I think the L was where they needed to be. If it had been a transition post up maybe but not a transition play like this one. MAYBE close down some, but that's splitting hairs IMO.
