Because the contact happened about 3 dribbles from when the player shot the uncontested layup. The moral of the story is that had I watched the play through, I would have seen that the player had a free layup and held my whistle. What I ended up doing was taking away that free layup because I blew the whistle on minor contact that did not create any advantage for the defense.
As far as your fable, in hindsight, I would not have made the call regardless of the outcome of the layup. If he misses the free layup, that's his problem - the earlier contact had no bearing on that.
