It's a tough one. If the L had been positioned the way he was supposed to be from the start my prior comment about it being the T's secondary stands. This one it probably would've been better for the T to take it but it was going to be tough for him to get it first given how fast the L blew his whistle.

I agree with this 100%. Had the L been at the wide angle position the whole time (like he should have been), then he wouldn't have closed his look off to the pass and the subsequent block/charge play. If he was at the wide angle position, he wouldn't have been surprised by the play, and probably would've gotten it right as he would've seen it developing in his peripheral. A quick whistle helped compound the fact that he probably got the play wrong. Watching the play develop all the way to the end would've helped him out as well, I feel.

Yes, this is the T's focus when the L takes the ball in the corner, but it is still in the L's primary. It's his to have first crack at.

Agreed. But if you're the T (or even the C) watching this play unfold and have definite knowledge that the pass was received inside the LDB ... are you going to the L with information?

If the lead indicates he has an RA block, then the T should be giving the L this extra information.

Gotta disagree with this...if the L takes the play in the corner (as he should) then he should not have first crack at this play. The T should, as he/she would have oicked up the post play and had the whole start-develop-finish look at the play. L is just going to be picking up the end of the play and should only have a whistle if there isn't one from the T (or C).

Rocky, I still have this one as L. If he's where he's supposed to be and facing the right direction he sees the entire play unfold right in front of him. He'd be able to see ahead of the player in the corner to know one of her teammates is coming. At that point you have to anticipate a defender is going to try to step in. The only thing I'd leave to the T is traveling so I could focus on the contact.

I can agree with this...but that "if" you put in there is not part of the OP, and in the OP the L should have laid off the whistle and let the T have the play,
