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.
