I am not second guessing my call (had the "A" player spun out of the tackle and then fumbled, I wouldn't have stopped it over forward progress) I just wanted to know if anyone with more experience can help a relative newbie out on this judgement call.

Just remember one side will always be unhappy with your call. I had a similar type of call a few weeks ago. I had a receiver attempt to catch a ball near the sideline. The ball was in the receiver's hands when the defender slapped the ball away. The ball then rolled out of bounds. I ruled the pass was incomplete, using the rule of thumb that if you have a question between an incomplete or fumble, go with the incomplete. Of course the team that had the ball was irate, because they thought it should've been a catch and fumble. However, if that play was in the middle of the field, they would have been arguing it was an incomplete pass.
