Coach B: But, wait! What did he call?

Nearest official: (shrugs) Nothing, I guess.

Coach B: But I saw the other official call a PC! Can you bring him/her over here so I can ask?

Nearest official: No, we're going to shoot FT's now.

Coach B: Are you saying they did not signal a PC?

Nearest official: I didn't see it.

Later on, the tape clearly shows the L giving the PC signal. As it turns out, the player from A that drove the lane would've fouled out on that play, and that same player makes the game-winning shot a few moments later. Assignor calls both officials and asks first why there were 2 different calls, and second, why did you not report 2 fouls, like the rule states?

So, not quite
end of story
