Can't tell for sure if there was a foul or not. The camera angle and the abrupt movement of the camera do not help.
I agree with others in that I have to question the lead's positioning. He's too far closed down in my opinion. In my opinion he should of been wider. He would of just as easily officiated his PCA during the throw-in. When the ball gets inbounded to the corner, he's got to shift his attention to the play in front of him, even though it's technically not in his PCA. First of all, I've been always thought that every official should have an opinion on a last second shot even when it's not in one's primary area. Second, there's only one play in the gym with .5 left on the clock and the lead's going to have the best look on such a quick play.
