After watching the video, I can state that the punch to the head by W5 occurs prior to the foul by Green against the player with the ball. This can be verified at 53 seconds of the video.
Therefore, the foul by W5 is a personal foul. However, I judge it as a FF2.
Also the Black official definitely calls a double technical foul on the two players while his partners are working to separate them. Guess he just forgot to report it! Btw I have no problem with the double T as the players are certainly engaged verbally at that point.
I will agree with the post above that the Lead made a poor choice as to what action to observe. The on-ball action was way below the need to monitor the two players on top of each other. Missing a common foul or even a personal foul against a shooter is preferable to missing what happened on the floor at his feet. Additionally, either of his partners can come in and help with the on-ball play even though their angles aren't great. If either one realizes that the Lead is focused on the guys down at his feet, they could adjust.
