I had a similar situation in a JVB game last year. Visiting team is down by two coming the length of the court with under 5 seconds to play. As V1 drives toward the lane, he catches the ball on his hip on what would have been his last dribble and then takes his two steps for a running shot. So, he ended up taking three big steps for his lay-up, don't you know it, but the shot went in as the final horn blew. I was lead right on top of the play and waved off the shot and called a traveling violation. My partner closed in quickly from the trail with the same call. Game over.
My coach reacted by yelling at me and calling me terrible but we had no incident. My partner and I walked into the locker room, discussed the play further, and then went on our way.
