Exactly. From the original: "He releases just before horn sounds and I think he is fouled but really could not tell. Lead raises his arm like he has a foul but makes no call.
Coach wants the foul so I go to my lead and ask "did you have a foul" and he says no."
Possible explanations:
L anticipated a call. Heck, we've all raised an arm and then not called anything -- but it usually has happened in the middle fo the game and even if someone notices there's not much comment.
L heard the horn and instinctively raised his hand (maybe it was even an open hand). That's pretty common among newer officials.
Maybe with the long pass, L thought he now had the "last shot" responsibilities.
If it was an "elephant", go get it. If it wasn't, ask, then leave it alone.
