Any comments on the IF situation are welcome, and thanks for letting me share!

When you called the solid hack, this caused the ball to become dead. Contact during a dead ball shall be ignored unless it is intentional or flagrant, and then if you judge that the contact warrants a call it will be a technical foul, not a personal. Common foul sounds like the call here to me.
