Why on earth would you call a dead ball 5 yard facemask? If the ball is dead and an A player pushes a B player in the back are you going to call a block in the back? No, you should have nothing or a personal foul.

If a player is holding another players jersey after the ball is dead you wouldn't call dead ball holding. If the holding was severe enough and the player was tackled you would again have nothing or a dead ball PF.

Dead ball officiating is about safety. If something happens that is a danger to a player, call it a personal foul, otherwise let it go.
