JR, I believe Nevada's correct and here's why. I think you mis-read or misunderstood the actual sequence. When Clover clarified the situation, he wrote:

Meantime my partner has called B1 for a hold on A2 up by the division line...we come together to confer and agree that his foul took place first

From what you wrote above, you seem to think that they decided that the elbow by A3 was first. But that's not actually what they decided. The hold near midcourt occurred first. Then the elbow.
