I just sighed and shook my head...like I was going to call that.

I'm curious as to what you mean by "like I was going to call that"... if you saw the violation, why would you not either:
1) Call it, or
2) Verbally indicate that the player should get out of the lane?
This is assuming you saw it. If you didn't see it, you coulnd't call it anyway. My understanding is that you are supposed to call the game the same from the beginning to the end, and the fact that one team is up by 30, and there are only 15 seconds left should have no impact on your choice to call a violation or a foul.

I agree that you might want to say something to move someone out after they camped in there. But call it in this situation - no thank you. Lets just go home. As a coach on either side, I just want the game over now.
