It happened so quickly, trail was at FT line on other end.

Ball was inbounded to half court, whipped to lane and then shot.

I started at half court, I was expecting the game tying shot to be a three and wanted to get a good look at the clock.

Drive started on the other side of lane. I agree young official should have made the call.

What I would do differently is go to him, ask why he raised his hand and then let him make the decision.

Packed gym going crazy so I didn't have time to talk afterward, but I have a game with the guy next week, we will talk about what we could do differently then.

Thanks

I'd consider this transition coverage and C's secondary.

You had the last shot, and seeing the clock is not as important as seeing the shot, that is what the horn is for.

I'd say C NEEDS to make this call if they are sure they have a foul.

In his original post David said he couldn't tell if there was a foul or not. While I agree someone probably needed to take this that someone was not David, who at the C wasn't sure what he had.
