Having a pow wow at this point is meaningless. The call was missed, but they can't go back and get it later.

Again, to echo Adam, if you don't put a whistle on the play there's nothing to discuss...at least not until they're in the dressing room. I'm baffled as to how the C could look dead at the play and not blow his whistle at all, even when the player with the ball hits the floor.

By the way, don't look at the time remaining on the screen graphic. The player traveled with 0.9 remaining and hit the court with 0.4. You can see the arena clock behind the basket and in the upper right.
