What Would YOU Do...(video)
Saw this clip and I wondered if I would make call on this play if I was the T. Thoughts?

Someone needs to have a whistle here. It's okay for T to grab it.

I agree...there needs to be a whistle. To me, either the T of C should get the call becuase the drive started in the T's area and went into the C's area. Makes you wonder what level of contact is needed for that C to blow her whistle...looks like she had a very clear and unobstructed view of the play.

I have a whistle at just about any position and I have a charge. It is in transition and anyone can and should have a foul in the lane IMO.

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.

After the dribbler blows past #1 above the top of the key, there's only one person in the path of the dribbler. The T easily should have been able to jump in after the C didn't blow her whistle. He was in great position after hustling down the floor. |
In that spot, we'd give first crack to the L. In the paint, L is king.

I've been told that everyone in transition is a secondary defender.
Regarding the original question: I don't mind T stepping in here with a late whistle but I'm not going to fault him for not doing so. Looks like defender has and maintains LGP, offensive player went to-and-through, charge. |
When clinicians talk about being a strong center, this is a pretty good example -- although it shouldn't take a terribly strong center to get this one.
