Good call. I'm not sure that I would have made the same call, not because I disagree with the interpretation, but because it's such an odd call to properly react to in a bang bang situation.

The "backup a step" may have helped.

Indeed, backing up is waaaaaay different. In that case, it is a PC foul...every...single...time.

A sudden stop for no other reason isn't any different...both are designed to do the same thing.
