Fair enough... from the C's angle, it certainly looks like one of those "oh sh-t, I better get this before there's a retaliation" moments.
A very similar situation happened to me in my game on Friday night... about 45 seconds left, 18-point game. Push in the back by B5 on a rebound, ball ends up being rebounded by B11. After my whistle for B5's push, B11 makes a very similar move as was in your video, and makes some very slight forearm-to-chin contact with A34 (I don't think it was intentional in the sense of "B11 meant to do it"). A34 then gives B11 a shove.
Had I not gotten the double-technical there, the end of the game would've been significantly worse. As it was, I reported three fouls, I talked to both coaches, we shot two free throws for B5's foul (A was in the bonus), and the game ended without further incident.
