I agree with the call - IF, and only IF you wait until there is actually a hint of a tie-up.

If all you have is players standing around, you've got nothing.

The minute a player is able to reach down and even remotely tie-up the ball, then come in hard with the AP.

Yes, preventative officiating is good, but I have a feeling you may have jumped in too early on this one - maybe only 2-3 seconds too early, but too early nontheless.

As well, if you were more than twice as far away from the play as your partner, you'd better be less than half the distance away when you make the call.
