Nowhere do I see any indication of the standard "five fingers" displayed by the alleged bad-guy lead anywhere throughout this clip. Not sure why he's pointing downward so often, unless he's fishing in the trail's pond with a mistaken spot throw in violation.
Am I off base here? Or could this be a test situation on a completely different scenerio of what we cannot see?

Could be any of that, but it isn't.

The game happened a couple of years ago. It was discussed here (not that it can't be discussed again), and it is what it seems. The general comments then were the same as they are now -- it's not the one official's call, and he called it too early (before 5).

... and, although we don't know for sure, he probably didn't have a visible count.
