I agree with that assessment on this play. I will also say that on a true last second shot situation, it's almost acceptable to ball watch. I'm not saying ball watch with 5 seconds left, but when you know the impending last second shot is coming. One has to have an opinion in case the calling official butchers the call or doesn't know. Two, if for some reason, there's a dead-to-rights missed foul on the shot, an official can come help the on ball official. I'm not talking about something questionable like a slight bump.
Opinions?
