I understand you are not an official but as an official we are trained to "referee the defense." The defender stands there with his hands up and I don't even think there is contact at all.

How this could possibly be a foul or even questioned to be a foul is beyond me.

NOT EVEN CLOSE!

I am, however, thinking of becoming an official (once I finally get my knee taken care of as I'm tired of wearing this brace).

I was asking due to seeing some of the comments on the article for clarification.

Forget the foul or travel. I love the fact that the T didn't bother to signal a three-point attempt until the ball got close.

Likely T mindset: "(Ball released) That's not going.... (Ball getting close) Well, maybe it... (Basket good) HOLY $#!%!!!"
