This is just how easy it is.
I was also in on a situation like mentioned before where a TO was requested by a coach when his team had control but I whistled AFTER (well, AS) his team had made an errant pass that was soon to turn into a layup the other way.
A lot of people stood up to cheer me, including the coach who thought I stole 2 points from him. He didn't stand much more after that, but he was able to finish the game.
