Nevada,
I am almost positive it was right after a made basket (perhaps with a time-out), because the defense had time to get set up in the press (which explains why all three of us were in the backcourt).

I was still out of bounds and the play was just in front of me (it happened in the corner, tableside).

I'd never worked with either official before and it's very possible the trail was doing some ball watching (rather than just helping me out). However, if he did clearly see that she never lost her dribble, he was correct in coming to me with the information. It was a close game and that call needed to be correct.

As I think I mentioned earlier, I was too close to the play. I was just off to the right (2 feet?) and perhaps 2 feet behind the play. I try to stay out of bounds (when becoming the new trail) until the ball clears the free throw line, but at this point, I had moved towards the play (seeing the trap coming). One move I could have made was to stal a little wide, but I was more concerned about a foul as the players reached for the ball. With that position, I did not have a great look below the waist, and as she fell, she apparently kept dribbling all the time.

A patient whistle would have been the right option. She falls...look to see what she's doing with the ball...still dribbling...hold the whistle until she's fouled or calls timeout. More times than not, a patient whistle is the way to go.
