JRut,
It is the same video clip. Apparently a student from the coach's school created the slower versions of the clip. I think it is EASIER to see the hand on the ball from behind (looks quite clean). It is also easier to see the contact from the front which happened just after the ball was hit by the other defender. I think the lead had a good view of the hand on the ball. He appeared to get so enamored with the clean block (yielding his signal), that he may have missed (I will accept your view that he may have "ignored") the contact by the second defender who got nothing but arm as the ball was already popped loose by the trailing defender.
As Snaqs said, it looked horrible at full speed....
The fact it was a playoff/tournament game would explain why a coach may be more hyped up than normal as their jobs can ride on successful runs in the tournament. Then again, their jobs can also ride on proper behavior all game long as well.
