I'd like to see Trail "work the arc" and would expect him to be considerably more towards the center of the court, at the time of the whistle.

This call has the feel of the official trying to sort out the 10-6-12 d. - "Contacting the player more than once with the same or alternating hands."
Hopefully, there is a mentor or supervisor present/available who can help with both of these concepts.

I sometimes see officials, usually less experienced officials, make a call due to the anxiety of not having blown a whistle for a long time, and this call also has that feel.

For many experieiced officials, this sequence is a no-call, even considering 10-6-12.
