Sure, that's a part of it, my point is just that it's not a necessary part of it. I'm typically annoyed when the game becomes something other than basketball in the last 2 minutes because the refs basically leave to get sandwiches and whatnot, but here, there's many other reasons why a no-call is appropriate.
