I think you made a great, clutch (and gutsy) call! You were absolutely right--the touching by player B did not end A's team control. The Rules and Case books are very clear on this situation, even though it was a real bummer for team A. Had the call not been made (some officials would pass on it because of it's great significance at that moment and "swallow" their whistle), you can be almost certain the OTHER coach would have gone ballistic. You did what you had to do. What a great game to work! I love doing those.
