Could it be
That the lead got confused? Instead of an open hand indicating a violation he/she closed the fist? The lead had to move out of the way of the flying bodies. Newbies get their mechanics mixed up often and seeing the trail come in, just went along with the switch?
Regardless, the lead did not complete the mechanics of the call. No team indication, no throw-in indication, no bird-dog. The trail who switched should not have administered the throw-in without knowing what the partner called.
