Mike and Tom both are long time D1 officials from the south. They both were instructors at Dale Kelly's camps this summer. Tom was the white haired official for the purposes of identification.

Around 13:00 in the second half LSU is in transition. A block charge happens right smack in the middle of the free throw semi circle. Burr is Lead opposite and the white hair gentlemen of the other two is C in front of the LSU bench.
Burr comes up with a block right away, but after slowing it down I notice the C has his left arm cocked and ready to punch the play the other way when he sees the block call and drops it.
My reason for posting is in light of the recent discussions of B/C calls at this level; I thought that even though C had one call and it looked like he was going to sell it hard the other way, he recognized the leads call and dropped it without any further confrontation.

I am not sure I understand what you are asking so I will have to ask a question for my clarification. Did the C official make a signal other than the foul call (fist in the air)?

I do not think anyone here is going to know what was discussed. If the call was in the middle of the lane it really does not matter what the level is all 3 officials can have a call. Not sure if that answers your question but that is the best I can do with the current information. I did see near the end of the game, but I did not see from start to finish. It was a good game from what I saw.
Peace
