I promise I will NOT comment further on the original call.

You can possibly have any one of the following:
1)blocking or holding foul on the defender.
2)PC foul on the player with the ball.
3)If the contact is slight and involves player/player, you have a "no call" and keep playing.
4)If the contact is ball/defender OOB,then the ball is OOB off of the defender,and the offense gets the ball OOB for a throw-in.

The call depends on the official's interpretation of what actually happened.Comment away.
