I'm assuming you mean full court press, and the ball is in the back court when the contact occurs? If so, I agree with previous poster that the L's head gets whacked off.
As for the immediate remedy, I'd get together with L and say wtf? And unless he saw something that you were completely, unquestionably, 110% blinded to, it's the T's call. If he takes that call, then he just totally cut you off at the legs in front of the coaches, and they realize it. To them, it makes you appear weak (not true), and it makes him look like he doesn't know what he's doing (true), and any opportunistic coach is going to seize on that.
After the game, I'd ask them why on Earth they blew the whistle on that play. If the answer isn't satisfactory, then a call to the assignor may be necessary. I don't like to criticize other officials unless they ask for critiquing, but that official has no business working 3 person crews if they're gonna make calls like that. Poor officiating like that is also a bad reflection on the assignor that put officials on the floor, and I know most, if not all, of the assignors I work for would want to know about it. Better the assignor hears it from you, before a PO'd AD or coach.
fwiw, C might also deserve a whack if they're that far out of the play and didn't hang back some, unless it's truly just a 1 on 1 matchup coming up the floor on the T's side.
