The L would most likely be guessing if the ball was still in the UNC player's hand when the foot landed. My supervisor instructed he would rather not call a violation that actually did occur than to call a violation that did not occur.

The shotclock should reset if the UNC player threw the ball back on the court (establishing team control) and play continued. Since the crew ruled the UNC landed on the court with the ball, no reset should occur.

I said "the C must have felt it was too obvious." I didn't say it was or should have been obvious to the L or anyone else. C is looking right at it. It may very well have been a "you can't do that" reaction from the C. Reflex call.

As far as the shot clock---if the UNC player possessed the ball before his foot hit out of bounds the clock should reset. I don't really think he did.
