Rut, I agree with you too. The final foul was the C's primary and I'm guessing she didn't have a whistle because she really couldn't see the contact. Secondary is the L and we're told to wait a beat to give the C a chance but we're also supposed to anticipate what our partner can't see. I'm guessing the L held off because there was no way - in his mind - the C couldn't see the contact. Thankfully, he got it.
