Why wasn't this Trail's call. A layup with four seconds should not be lead's call. Although there are no specific guidelines in the NF Manual ( of course)... If trail cant make a last second call with four seconds on the clock, and the lead thinks it is his call... Oh my!

The play starts at the far end and goes the length of the court in 4 seconds. The lead should make the call as to whether the shot was released prior to the horn or not in this case. There's no way the trail can go the length of the floor and know better than the lead whether the ball is released or not on a layup.

Beyond that, this isn't the issue. The issue is, when did the foul occur and was it against an airborne shooter? No, that is not the trail's call.
