I'm the lead official, I don't see any contact..

Is this a break away and you are trailing? are you along side it ? or in front of it?

here is the issue, you were watching the ball and not the play. first and formost your resposibility is play below the rim and the shooter until he returns to the floor.
your partners trail and center have the responsibility of play above the rim on this.

once the player landed the try is over what foul do you call? the other two players may have only gone to the floor as a result of tripping over the out of control player who fell down?

If you didn't see it you can not guess on it, and what if the shot went in the ball is now dead, what do you call there?

JR nailed this with respect to following the shooter until they return to the floor for sure and possibly longer so that you know why you have three bodies on the floor.

The other thing is you can not go around making up calls just because there are three bodies on the floor, if you don't know how they got there.
you are going to take some grief on this situation most likely anyway, because people believe that when their are three bodies on the floor their had to be a foul. So get it right and know how they got there.
