From one angle you could see the Trail through the players, and as he calls it and sells it he looks back, sees L, and just drops his arm in what looked like an "ah, sh**" kind of move.

Nothing more to really say about it, other than it's a reminder that even the big boys do things they wish they hadn't from time to time...
Although this is a recipe for disaster, the rules allow for each player described to get a foul (one block and one charge). See Case 4-19-8 Situation C.

Seems like neither official had guts!
