The Devil's Advocate
I see posts on this forum all the time that relate to "get the call right." I also see posts that refer to an IW followed by "tying your shoe." Apparently it is important to us to get the call right and we do not mind an IW.
With this in mind, if the Trail's last knowledge was that Team A had control and Player A1 was the last known touch to the Trail (even though he knows there was some action following this touch) and Player A2 was the first to touch it in Team A's backcourt, Why not blow the whistle, keep your palm up without signaling a violation and quickly ask your partner for any information differing from yours.
If your partner has no information, give the signal and rule appropriately. If he has information different from yours, give the "my bad tap", point toward Team A's basket and point to an OOB spot for throw-in. You could probably get this done in 5 seconds or less and the only explanation for coaches would be, "my mistake, no violation."
In addition, "Never" and "Do Not Ever" is pretty "strong medicine" for a game like basketball.
