Unfortunately, there is no portion of that video. You never saw what was told in the lane. The broadcast was showing the FT shooter almost the entire time and did not see or hear anything from the L on this FT situation other than after the shot was taken.

Someone was confused. Either the administering official or the players or even both. But it is a lesson that we have to keep our concentration even when it looks like it might not be much of a game.
