In this case, it would be too much of a reach for lead IMO to grab this. If he had closed down somewhat, possibly. Also, C has a much better angle than lead, surprised he called block.

I'm not a fan of reaching across the paint.

Apparently not since he got it wrong.

The lane line isn't some magical barrier that can't be seen through. It is about where the defender came from and when and who has the best view of how the defender got to the spot. In this case, the lead clearly could have had the best view...the endline camera angle that would have been near the lead's location was very clear on review.
