Pillar's an idiot in this situation for most people because a superstud was the victim. If it was Goins people would be a lot more critical about who shouldn't have been running backwards into the CF's territory. Tulo needed to give way there. It wasn't even a critical play either.
As far as I'm concerned the CF's calls have priority over the SS's. There are very, very few situations in which a SS has a better play than a good CF on pop ups like that. Let the CF call it off. If it falls, it's on him, but don't get in the way.
On a related note, it must be tough for guys like Pillar and Goins to deal with all the egos on the team. Pillar often has to call off Jose and Goins has to stop JD sometimes. I could have sworn that I recently saw a small disagreement between JD and Goins on a play to the left side. Goins snagged the ball and made the play and JD kind of gestured in a "yo, that was mine" kind of way. Not sure if it was joking or not. Easily could have been, but sometimes I wonder how fringe guys take to "captaining" superstars because of positional priority.
