That's part of the NCAAW definition -- if not the "standard English" definition:

Art. 2. In a fast-break situation, any defensive player(s) initially shall be a
secondary defender.

Funny....I was told that by several NCAA-M officials. Is the NCAA men's direction the same?

Not sure about the same direction. But the "arc" is specifically used to prevent a secondary defender from being under the basket. I have no idea if Women's side has the same rule, but in the men that is the purpose of that arc. And in transition everyone is pretty much seen as a secondary defender.

Peace

To be honest, I don't know what I would do if I were the Trail on that play. I've only come an extremely long distance once to get a crash; that was a 2-man HS BV game and my partner was one of my best friends and a mentor, so I knew right or wrong, our post-game convo on the play would be amicable and a learning experience.
