consider the level of the game
Mike,
Not having seen the play, I will have to make an assumption here that the "push" occurred while the shooter was still in the air after releasing the shot. At a lower level, this contact needs to be called much more frequently than at higher levels where you can ignore a lot of contact after the block was clean.
This is one of the tough things to learn about officiating when you do several different levels of play.
As to whether the call was your partner's in the paint, the paint is a dual coverage area. I have watched many a film where I had no idea what the heck my partner saw at the time, but the film showed that the whistle was needed on the play. There are always more than one angle to every play, and the one you are in may not be the one that shows the infraction.
