In this drive from the wing the center official does not stay connected with the play. Once the initial defender is beat the center official needs to move to find the secondary defender. In the lead position, this is a good patient whistle calling across the paint when there was not a whistle from the center official. Be aware of calling across the lane on plays that are at the rim on the opposite side of the paint in the three man system.

Tough play. Didn't really see anything. Play on...especially if you let the initial travel go that provided the shooter with a HUGE advantage. Can't argue the call though...contact was made and the secondary defender wasn't there in time even though he went straight up.
