Question: Why contact was not severe enough to warrant an initial whistle? You stated yourself that is was slight contact. I know, I know patience whislte waiting to see the entire play develop.

I saw the whole play through and blew the whistle. No matter how slight, it was contact on the jump shooter with the ball still in his hand. He took a knee to the back before the player smacked all ball, hence the foul.
