I cannot tell on the video if there was a foul or not, but it is clear to me that the T, who had the whistle, is the only one with an open look. Lastly, the T was actually below the top of the 3pt arc when he made the call, not way away.
I agree. The T is the only one with a view through the play.

The defender's feet did move forward thought the 2nd shot. For the reasons you describe regarding the C, we also don't have a view through the play and just cant see if there was enough contact for a foul or not.

This is a perfect example of the video not being conclusive. The video not showing an obvious foul here is certainly not sufficient to say there wasn't one.
