I saw a very similar situation in which the foul was called. Under a minute to go, B up 34-33. Ball inbounded in front of visitors' bench (in A's backcourt). A1 dribbles across court, with B1 closely guarding. A1 leads B1 into a blind screen set by A2 in the backcourt. B1 runs into A2, knocking B1 down. Foul called on B1, two FTs for A2.
A lot of conversation about the call afterwards, as you can imagine. At the time I thought it was a legitimate call, although I thought it was pretty cheap by A (I admit, I was rooting for B - but I would think its cheap, regardless).
Now, I'm not so sure whether the call should've been made. Its what makes reffing basketball so tough - so much judgment involved.
