I have a DVR and I stopped it here before the announcers could announce anything. Played it a few times to try and guess what was going to get called. I thought if anything the V shot would be good, and then V would get the ball for the common foul by NC St. on the player between the NC St. player and the shooter. But then I thought, "this would be a very odd call for an emphatically closing trail official to make." Sure enough, he called the foul in the act of shooting.

About a minute later the same official called a travel on a V player in the paint. That was technically a good call, but there hadn't been too many of those types of calls in the game, and here we were with three minutes left. Hmmm

Between that call and the one before, Jay Wright almost lost it. If there hadn't been a chaplain on the bench, he just might have.

Probably not this official's finest few minutes. I think he got a little caught up in the emotion of the game. Been there, done that, and I get a little better every time I'm in that kind of scenario. And then I move up a level and the learning curve gets even steeper.

I called the travel from my couch. Absolutely the right call. Some people gotsta work real hard to rip on a crew when they get one right.

This is probably an obvious question for most of you, but I just want to clarify:
-Team A has the ball and loses possession.
-The ball is loose.
-Loose ball ends up in a held ball.

If the arrow is for Team A, they get possession with the shot clock where it's at.
If the arrow is for Team B, they get possession with a new shot clock.

Is that correct?

It depends.

Without knowing exactly how the rule works, I'd think that any use of the possession arrow coming from a held ball should result in a fresh shot clock for the team with the arrow in every circumstance. Based on the end of this game, that's obviously not the case.

I could potentially see keeping the shot clock where it's at in the case of a ball getting caught between the backboard and the rim.

If it lodges that means it hit the rim.

True. Unless it's an errant pass, right? ;-)

I'm not sure why BadNewsRef said, "it depends," though I'm sure he had a technical reason. But in essence, what you listed was correct. No re-set if the team in control has the arrow. There's no "change in possession" so it's just as if the ball was deflected out of bounds by the defense.

Depends if the defense, at some point, gained possession of the ball prior to the tie up.

The reason I initially assumed it would be a fresh shot clock either way is that a held ball is essentially dual possession, so getting the ball via the arrow would be a fresh possession either way.
