Instead, L watched the drive and the contact surprised him. Maybe C could have helped, but he ended up being pretty straightlined and I'm not sure he could have avoided that given how quickly all of the action moved toward the basket. This was all on L; it exploded in his lap and he missed the call because he wasn't refereeing the defense.

I think the Trail should have had a cadence whistle on this. He's in perfect position to see the entire drive and the contact.
