Some of your veteran officials are idiots. We don't make calls to keep players or coaches happy. An official named Newton once said if you do that, then the players and coaches on the other team will be just as unhappy with the same call. And recommending making different calls for the same play if it happened somewhere else on the floor is just as stoopid. Maybe you should mention to those veteran officials that they should grow some balls.
The only 2 possible correct calls are (a) or (b). If there was enough contact there to make the shooter fall down, I'd call the team control foul.
