Bainsey, were you one of the officials?

I don't understand why the calling official reports the foul, then brings his partners together, only to report the foul again. Does he want more face time with the coach at half-court?

I always include a situation like this in my pregame. If we have a last second shot, all three of us need to have an opinion. If I'm the trail official here, I am more concerned about offering my information (the horn sounded before the incidental contact) to the lead official than getting the ball from the player in the middle of the court.

The C must not know when the horn sounded (although he would ultimately be responsible for the last second shot). He is about two steps away from cutting the lead off and saving the day, when he decides to just stand there and watch.
