End of Half Player Control

Both kids crash to the floor, ball doesn't go in, and the horn sounds. Guys on the floor have a no-call and the half ends.

Coach for B-team has a few words with the officials as he heads to the locker-room asking for an explanation and is obviously not happy. I am too far into the stands to hear the response.

My question is should this have been a player control even though it occurred right before the buzzer? B1 was stationary and did not move to cut-off A1's attempt at the lay-up and he took the full contact in his chest.

This may be a HTBT situation, but based on my description, what do you have?

Why is this even a question? Sounds like a textbook PC to me. Unless the lead saw something different, shame on them for watching the clock and not having the gusto to make a call right before the buzzer.

For all we know the crew could have went in at halftime and said "damn, we kicked that last call". Maybe that's what they told the coach and that's why he wasn't happy....or maybe there's a piece of missing information that none of us have privy to. Maybe A1 travelled? Who knows but the crew?
