Of course, we'd have to see it for ourselves, but it sounds like you ruled the contact was incidental in nature, though the result was a violation. There couldn't be a no-call since there was a violation. A late whistle for a pushing foul would get you a pocket full of coach, though it might be correct. If the travel occurred within a second or so of the bump, do the right thing. If B is already at halfcourt, Miss A gets the ticket. A's coach seeks anger management.
In my book, the contact is not "incidental" if it knocks the ball holder off balance enough to commit a traveling violation. Blow the whistle for the foul.
