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,
