If you don't have the above, NEVER blow the whistle. You'll catch flack from coaches because the whistle didn't blow but which is worse, being yelled at by a coach or blowing a play dead that wasn't?
While that's good advice, it's not going to help in this situation. You had a new official calling a foul like it was basektball. It had nothing to do with seeing the ball. He's new, he saw the foul, he threw the flag and blew the whistle.

It happens.
