How about the other two officials -- the T should be right there and the C is coming in to take the L's spot.

True and it may be the acceptable NCAA mechanics for the lead to go quickly and let the T or C handle any possible confrontation. However, it appears neither T or C made any movement here. Maybe a good thing #12 did. The Federation manual advises us not to be in a rush to leave the area.
