Both arm contact and leg movement seem to happen right at the change from 1:41 - 1:42.

What happened first aside, do you think the official was happy with this call after watching it? There are calls that I have made that might be technically correct, but that I wish in hindsight that I would have no-called. This seems like it would be one of those situations where the official in hindsight would have wished he had let this go as a no call.
With both players going to the floor on this type of play...IMO a call needed to be made.
