Instead of worrying about the official making the call, why not focus on how dumb the kid was to do anything remotely even close to committing a foul. Didn't the coach tell them not to foul? I would guess they did. Watching the video, we don't have a good look, but I can certainly see how there is is a rebounding foul on the play. It looks like the one kid may have played through the inside player's body to knock the ball away. I can see where it would have been a very solid call from a different angle.

That's a strong statement. You probably meant "a dumb decision on the part of the kid".

Point well taken overall, though. The decision to reach definitely put the kid/team at risk of fouling. Standing straight up may have been a wiser decision.
