Because of my no call, A2 ( not involved in the play) came screaming at me and I "T"ed him up. He then put his hand in my chest and pushed me, "T" #2. He was gone.

It changed the game, B made 3 out of 4 FTs and won the game by 4.

I should have made a call on the Block/charge, either way and it would have been better. Lesson learned.
I won't question whether there should've been a foul. I'll just question this: You're letting A2's reaction change how you feel about a play and the decision you made at the time. I think that's a mistake. You can't control a player's reaction.

If you feel, absent the reaction, that you should've had a foul, fine. But leave that out of the equation.
