Someone has to have a whistle on this. And I disagree that the T could not see the secondary defender. Actually they could see the play coming as they are on ball much of this play. Not saying they are ideal and that other officials might not have a better look most of the time, but you could read this coming a mile away. The ball handler never acted like they were going to stop and pull up. But the C should have had this all the way too. Not sure what the hell she was watching?

I've got a whistle and a charge. Learned this one the hard way, years ago, as a newby, in two man. My partner came in hard to close down, took the call and looked at me like,"hey man, you've gotta get that one." Never forgot it.

I agree with Jeff and there’s another factor here: what’s the next competitive matchup for the T once A1 leaves his primary? At the moment of contact all ten players on the floor are at or below the 28-foot hash mark. There’s no competitive matchup in front of the T so his job is to look for another. The next competitive matchup is the (impending) crash site.
