That is not always the case on the floor, as I'm sure we are all aware. That said, this official certainly needed to do a few things differently. His partners should have been paying closer attention, after the inital whistle blew, to activiy going on. No rest for the wicked and thats us officials on the court.
I'm sorry, but I don't see this as a 50-50 play. My first viewing told me it was an easy charge; replay only confirmed it. The defender had roots.
