First, it is not a foul when the defense reaches in to try to steal the ball. Reaching is not a foul.
When the ball became loose it was still in control of Team A. Hind sight is always 20/20 but I would have blown the ball dead immediately when I saw that the two players were tangled up. After getting the players untangled I would have given the ball to Team A for a throw-in because Team A was in control of the ball when I blew the ball dead.
