Oh, this is High School ball if it makes a difference.

In HS this is a very good call. The official by rule is to only grant the TO when the ball is in control of a player of the team - 5-8-3a.
Player control 4-12-1 is holding or dribbling the ball etc.,
Many times I know I'm making sure that the coach has actually asked for a TO before I call it and something else might happening that would prevent it.
