I have a problem with you passing on the foul. Your words: "I passed on a push by A1 during rebounding action"; "Regardless, B1 was displaced, I clearly saw it,"; "The result was that A1 got the offensive rebound "; "as play was starting to get rougher than we wanted."

You, yourself, listed 4 good reasons why you should have blown your whistle, including the 3 we always look for on rebounding fouls: possession consequence, displacement and cleaning up rough play. And on top of that, A1 ends up going to the free throw line.

I don't go back after the fact to coaches unless they have asked for an explanation on a crew play or to clarify why we did make a specific ruling. Both those situations are going to be very rare.
