Strange play. I was tempted to call a technical foul but was unsure of whether contact was intentional so I passed on it.


hbioteach:

When in doubt: CHARGE!!

But seriously, if you did not have a charging foul by A1 then you had to have a travel by A1, meaning you had to determine if A1's forearm contact was incidental or a technical foul. That is why we are paid the big $'s to officiate.
