Yes, "He was not set and was still moving" was used multiple times on that instant reply. Although I still thing it was a bang-bang block.

I believe he referred to the 28-foot line as the "quarter-court line" - when the dribbler "gets past that line, then the count stops and starts over." Is somebody kidding? That's just completely bizarre.

While it was before my time, there was a count rule that did depend on the 28' hash marks. They're not completely making it up....just hopelessly out-of-date.

Perhaps one of our resident fossils could fill us in on what that rule was???
