Speaking NFHS, the official opposite the table (not the L) has last second shot responsibility. It could be the C or the T depending how the officials are aligned on the floor.

The C would be emphatically waving off the shot before it ever got near the basket. If the T signals "touchdown" after the C is whistling and waving off the basket, he walks home.
