Be Aware
I have to disagree with Nevada. An official should be aware of what might take place near the end of a close game regarding which team might want to call a TO, etc. The trail in this instance should have glanced toward the respective benches looking for a possible TO request by either coach in the event that the FT is good. Many times as trail in this situation when I look toward the bench, I have had a coach non verbally indicate to me that if the FT is good he or she wants a TO. It's all part of what I call preventive officiating. Be prepared for the situation and prevent any problems whenever possible.
