I didn't see it. I have no idea what actually happened. I'm just thinking out loud.
I had a similar situaton last week. I totally swallowed my whistle on an obvious push-off by ball-handler A1 at the 3-point line. But luckily for me on his next dribble he palmed the ball. I was all over that violation b/c it saved my a$$ from what would have been well deserved grief from Coach B.
