Regarding the slap that you said was clearly a foul. You said it was on the opposite end of the court. Could it have been the sound of the ball being slapped? Even if it was a clear slap, was it directly on the hand with the ball in it?
The rule book says that non-intentional contact on the hand that is holding the ball is not a foul. (paraphrased) Maybe they blocked the ball, and then hit the shooters hand? Just guessing, or maybe the guy completely kicked the call as you say.
