It's a supportable no call, and probably more readily accepted than a strict rulebook call.
NF not NCAA.

I think if you saw the play, you might be more likely to agree with the call. A1 was inside the FT semi-circle, prior to crossing the FT line when the whistle blew. It wasn't a petty foul, so I know he felt the contact. He took two more dribbles, did a jump stop went, up over B2 who was waiting to try a charge and dunked it.

It was pretty clear to me, but I posted since this is a play that I don't recall us discussing before.
