I don't agree. The official makes no movement and doesn't blow the whistle until the player has released a try for goal near the basket. There is no way that he is calling a handchecking foul that occurred 25 feet away from this point when the defender had a foot in the orange part of the U on the court.
He thought that the reach around slap on the edge of the FT lane took place before the act of shooting began. He was incorrect and just missed this call.
