Interesting comment from an official

Snaq,

That is exactly how it happened 99% of the time - - by the time the official came in with the two thumbs up, one had the ball, and in some cases had already passed to a teammate.

That strikes me as a quick whistle indicative of newer officials who don't fully understand the rule.

If I had to guess, I'd guess they probably call a blocking foul on a defender with LGP because he's not "set." They probably call traveling for ugly plays, they probably don't understand "incidental contact," they have about 4 or 5 three-second calls per game, and they'll call "first to touch" violations after a player has been out of bounds.

I've seen that game a hundred times; had that partner a few times myself.
