Looked like it coulda been enough, even from 70' away.

That's T's opinion. Maybe L saw A1 anticipate the contact, twist, and land with no real contact (or contact not sufficient to be a foul).

Hey bob,
How did I get put into defensive mode?

With a solid partner, or with a partner that I do not know, I feel no compunction to help.

My fixation on this thread was the T seeing definite contact, having a rookie-ish partner that needed help and being willing to step up and bail out my partner with an AT&T that I saw and the crowd thought they saw.

My very first line on this thread was "If that's me and I wanna get that foul...." described the mechanic I would use.
From there I proposed an alternative to *never helping* and *maybe helping*.

By and large, I will totally trust my partner and leave that 70' call to the other guy. [Whew! I got dog-piled! ]
