I re-watched the video, and I can't find any fault in how the ref reacted other than be in his 50s. I'm 25, and while I can still juke, I'd likely clip the player on that steal.
What exactly do you want the Trail to do here? Utah gets the board and the ref waits to leave until the player starts to dribble up the court. A quick steal off a lazy pass and bam, Mr.Ragland Sleeves gets on ESPN.
I don't know if you work college, but they are pushing refs to be a step behind or even with the ball handler when they are coming up the court. It leads to situations like this, but if he doesn't do it, he might still end up on one of the training videos as "One of the refs who isn't following directions".
