I dont agree with this at all.  Sure there are calls the refs are zoned for.  But the ref who hands the kid the ball has to follow the ball.  He makes the illegal touching call, he makes the step on the line call, he makes the 5 sec call.

Also the variation of responsibility changes depending on throw in location and whether the guy can run the baseline.

You think if that play happens and its clearly knocked out that the baseline ref is going to ignore and not make a call and defer to the far side ref?  It happened earlier in the game and the baseline made call didnt it?

Nothing in the NCAA handbook mentions that this call is the center court refs call because it went OB on that sideline.

In fact the handbook actually says the lead/trail guys have things to watch that do not involve the ball.  That is hard to do and actually see the play. the throw in guy has to watch the ball.

It still comes down to dont make up a call you didnt see, and the other ref clearly did make one up.

And it still could have been the right call, but there is no way that ref could see it.
