I just thought that coverage was rather odd considering Crawford was right in front of the matchups and gave the call up yet the trail was the one who made that call from that far back.

Crawford is focused on the dribbler and the player sliding over to defend the dribbler. Especially because the dribbler "didn't use the screen", it's a great call for the off-ball official to get.
