1. Define "more obvious."
2. As to the ball not going to the player who got the benefit of the no-call, until that pass is thrown the C doesn't know whether the UNC player is the first, second or even third option and I'd argue it doesn't/shouldn't matter. The UNC player got free - IMO - the defender was hip-checked while chasing him around a screen.
3. What does "that point in the game" have to do with anything? If it put an opponent at an illegal disadvantage that's their problem.
