I don't know what happened by the division line, but when he immediately signaled the "tip" with his hands (unapproved mechanic) to show that the defender knocked it backwards, I knew he didn't see that it was the offensive player who hit it back.

But I agree with the sentiment. I wasn't going to blow my whistle even if the ball had gone into the backcourt. I was going to let us live with it.
