(BTW, this is the type of discussion new officials trying to get into college ball should be focusing on, not whether an NBA player can dangle from the rim after a time-out)

Did the ball get anywhere near the rim and/or did the shooter's motion have a weird reaction? I agree that it is a tough angle, if the contact is on the outside of the shooter's outside arm toward Trail. However, usually you can infer based on the trajectory of the shot and/or his body's reaction, but Trail would be the only one to actually see the contact, unless Lead gets lucky on the look through.
Amen! Discussions like these build foundations.
