Contact on the dribbler is negligible, so going to disagree with Camron on that one. The crash has to have a whistle. But it didn't - and the foul on the shooter is legit. I also have no problem with L's positioning, his angle was fine on that play. The big mistake is no charge on the dribbler.

I'm of two minds on #30 vs. A1. I can see calling the initial contact near the division line if I'm the T on that play and in the heat of the moment. A lot would depend on what we'd been calling up to that point. However looking at the replay I can also see passing on that situation.

But...there had to be a call on the block/charge. Even, as the T, if you're not sure who the foul is on at the moment you blow the whistle just blow the whistle. I'm not saying make something up. Blow the whistle, don't give a preliminary and take a beat to process what happened. We all work hard out there and if I'm an observer I can forgive not putting a whistle on the contact at the beginning or end of that sequence but to have nothing on the train wreck in the middle shouldn't have been an option.
