Reversing my own call

Any thoughts or rule citations on this?

Just last week I did a similar thing to my partner. I was Lead transitioning to Trail after a made basket. The ball was knocked loose and arms flailed, bodies collided and the ball bounced around, all in about a 8'X8' square in the corner, finally being knocked OOB. I come in with a strong whistle and a foul signal. Then I stood there for what seemed 10 seconds, and said "White Ball". I immediately looked at my partner and said, I didn't have foul after all.

I guess for both Rizzo and I, it was better than blowing a whistle when nothing at all happened. Yeah, I've done that.
