Just as A1 is taking her last step to gather for her takeoff B1 suddenly steps out the way and turns to the side with her backs towards me and reaches for the ball. I am now straightlined and have no idea what's going on with the ball and their hands. B1 jerks likes she pulling at the ball and the action causes the players to spin so that now A1 comes back down to the floor but now she is closer to the baseline and she lands with one foot on the baseline.
Now my question. As I said I was straightlined when B1 initially reached for the ball. I was still straightlined when she did the jerking action. The first time I saw the ball again was when A1 landed with her foot OOB.
So, the call on this play in your opinion is:

If you dont see the ball dont make the call. Players often will fake like they have been fouled and with a two man crew it is often hard to get in position to see that type of stuff. I probably would have said OOB on A1 and we are going the other way.
