Is this where basketball politics come in?

RefTN-

Hold that head up! You did the right thing. One of the most important attributes an offical can possess is COURAGE. That means you make the right call when it needs to be made, regardless of the amount of time on the clock. Sounds to me like that is exactly what you did. In this case, it doesn't really matter who else saw it-- you saw it. You were supposed to see it. You made the call. It was the right call. If I'm you, I would have a hard time living with myself if I held my whistle there. This isn't a judgement type call, it's an automatic. You did your job, so be proud.
