Based on your description, no foul was committed by A. B60 committed a personal foul, and a potentially flagrant one at that, depending on the severity of the action. Again, based on your description, I'd be leaning towards flagrant.

Why it wasn't flagged on the field is anyone's guess. In a 4- or 5- person crew, it's possible that none of the officials saw it happen, depending on what else was going on at the time (QB being hit just after the throw drawing R's attention, umpire having to turn on a throw over the middle, etc).

Couldn't care less about how Team B feels about the situation, personally.

We officiate to the next threat -- only so many eyes and so many officials. Someone blocked to the ground? I'm moving to the next competitive matchup / threat.

When they give us 11 officials, we'll watch all 11 players all the time.
