this play illustrates a couple of things:
1) L should have the responsibility on drives to the basket. (it is ALWAYS easier to officiate a play coming toward you rather than moving away from you.)
2) On a drive to the basket, IF either outside official (C or T) have a whistle - you should "blow & hold". (use closed-fist to stop clock and see if L has a whistle prior to making your foul signal.)
3) Basketball is basketball regardless of the level....the same plays occur in every game and officials (even the best ones) make the same mistakes.
