Give the man a cigar.
My goal is not to play "look how smart I am" with the teams, etc. If it's CLEARLY a violation (A CLEARLY was the last to touch and first to touch with A in team control) than I will certainly call it and will be prepared to give a brief explanation to the apoplectic coach. But if there's ANY doubt in my mind who was the last to touch, it's not a violation.
