Did he really think it was a foul? If not, sounds to me he should have fessed up...
"Coach, I blew my whistle in anticipation of a foul, but realized that the contact was incidental. I hate myself for it, and you have a right to be upset, but no way was that a foul."
...then get to the locker room and call your assignor before the coach does!
