A couple other things that bothered me that haven't been mentioned.
C looked like he was way too antsy down the stretch of this game and he did not trust his partners. The ball watching on the play put him in the way of the game and took him out of position. His running in toward the conference, and doing most of the talking, left the players unwatched and made him screw up the switch for free throw administration. He should have been lead for this (assuming there isn't a NV exception). Then he came into the lane between tries to move a player down when the lead could easily have taken care of that. Looked way too excited.
L crept on the court during the rebounding and confusingly waved off the basket with one arm while the other was still in the air. Not sure why he came all the way to the table after a correct call. It was a 5th foul, but there is still no reason to allow the coach to walk to mid-court and have a conversation that doesn't involve the other coach.
I'm guessing T had a double whistle, but should have passed the call to L and ended up making a confusing extended point to the shooter. Maybe she wasn't sure what L had because of a weak preliminary signal.
I'm not sure any of the three were completely under control during this crunch time.
This is a great example of getting the call right, and still looking bad doing it.
