JRutledge Should they? Not sure they should, but the can if they see something that helps get the call right. The T seemed to be asking for help on a play that was not his. Peace
bob jenkins Only whoever the L asks for help should be helping. Since L pointed the same way as C, I guess that the L was asking C. In my mind, the OP should be asking, "Should the T be helping here?"
jeremy341a Why would the L look to the C and not the T? I didn't even realize he did when I first watched it. I would guess the T signals bc he sees the L hold his and expects he wants his help?

It is possible the L felt the C had a better look. Either official can help if they saw something. And it really is not clear to me by the graininess of the video to know who he is asking for help from IMO. Peace

Peace that or "was the ball touched by the player in black across the lane?" L might have a hard time seeing that.
