NBA referees will tell you that when a player boxes out with his back to the basket, he is usually the first one to do something illegal, most often by using their hands or arms to push our hold back their opponent.
Get the first foul, not the reaction to the first foul.
Lead need to stay as wide as the ball. You don't have to be 2 ft away from action to officiate it. He can officiate the paint while still staying as wide as the ball.

My main disagreement here is that the blue player does not actually touch him until the white player takes his arm and does some kind of swim move. Even if blue touched him, there was no displacement at the time. The white player trying to do a football move to look like he was being contacted and it was again a "fool the referee" type play where he wants you to think he was getting held up. Bad technique on the blue player for sure, but the contact was not initiated by him. The blue player certainly should not have his arm out like that, but again the white player takes his arm and tries to make it look like something that is happening and it did not happen IMO.
Peace
