I didn't see the dead ball lay-up. But I did see the "carry" call. My response was the same as yours. Yikes. Not only was it not a carry, but it wasn't even a high dribble, as the ball wasn't even in contact with his hand.

I also saw a couple of instances where the Lead official reached across the lane to call a foul on the other side of the basket. One was probably a good call (they didn't show the replay), but the other was a clean block from behind. Lead called a foul. If the Lead is going to reach across the lane to make those calls, why do we have a Center official? Lead should leave it alone, unless it's an "oh my God" foul.
