Kinda what I was going to say too....if you notice the clip, the ball never left A1's hand (because he elected not to shoot for some reason) but the L would have had a hard time seeing that.....also if there was a significant "flop" it would have been hard for the L to see that from across the lane....My point is and I've said it in othe posts.....the only call the L could have had was a "charge" which would have been right and he would have had to have something, there's no way that's a no call, but he wouldn't have had the look that I'd like to have to make a call like that.
