1) Would have been helpful? It's impossible to make the
RIGHT call on this play without that knowledge. And you don't need slo-mo to make that decision either. Any half-way competent official automatically looks to see the status of the ball when he calls any foul. All you were doing was guessing...and you're still guessing.
2) Unfortunately, the rules won't allow you to make that call. If the ball was dead(which it is
after a basket), any contact that
ISN'T intentional or flagrant
has to be ignored, by rule.
You can't make the right call if you don't know the rules...or have a clue as to what's going on.
