Ok, I have reviewed the play, which occurred with 2:36 remaining in the second quarter. Here is what I see on the tape:

#1 The ball did NOT enter the basket. The attempted lay up hit the backboard and then bounced once on ring before falling off on the opposite side.
#2 The L and C had a double whistle on the play. Neither one gave a prelim. It was not a blarge. They came together and the Lead took the call.
#3 The call made by the Lead was a blocking foul and he counted the basket.
#4 IMO the wrong call was made. The defender was standing at that place on the floor in plenty of time. Not that it matter, but he didn't even move.
#5 The offensive player was Taylor King. He did a very good job of attempting to get around the defender. He attempted a jump stop by ending his dribble with his right foot on the floor and jumped off that foot. However, he did not land simultaneously, so he did travel, as his left foot came down between the defender's legs, and then his right foot landed on the opposite side of the defender before he shot the ball.
#6 To be specific the sequence was: a. end dribble and jump off of right foot, b. offensive player's left foot comes down to the floor, c. contact occurs on the left leg of the defender and some of the side of the body, d. the offensive player's right foot comes down to the floor, e. the offensive player attempts an unsuccessful try for goal, f. the offensive player is fouled by a second defender.
