As I clearly stated, it started with 0 with 2 drifting in at the time of the contact.

Actually, by the time of the point in question, they were well outside the lane on the L/T side (not from the middle/circle), the C would have either long since given up on them since he had several more matchups to watch or was watching the screening action...which was not the point of the foul...the fouler came from the opposite side.

That was a play that took place outside of the 3 point line and concluded way in the Trail's area with no one covering the thrower.

In how many typical halfcourt sets is the trail standing on or behind the division line? In how many typical halfcourt sets does the lead have 0 players in their primary, even if for just a few seconds?
They may have been in the "halfcourt" but the players were not in a typical alignment for typical halfcourt coverage.
