Don't Strongly Disagree With You, But ...

CALL THE FIRST FOUL!!!! Both coaches want it and understand it. This is good game management.
I don't strongly disagree with you but, how about the NFHS rule that we don't ignore fouls during a dead ball if they're flagrant, or intentional, which the jersey grab was, by many Forum members', and NFHS, definitions.
