Probably was by your description. But that's one of those calls that's so unusual that even a good official probably sees it, says, "ooh" to himself, and freezes just long enough to swallow his whistle, knowing that it probably should have been a travel. Chances are the crew didn't pre-game it, so it just wasn't on the officials' radar. I'm sure it was after that.

I liken this to pressure in the backcourt when a dribbler picks up his dribble, gets trapped, and then in desperation flings the ball out of the scrum and it glances off the opponent's backboard. Illegal dribble by the book. But in seven years how many times have I seen this? Zero! So when it happens, it'll be unexpected and there's a possibility I'll choke on the call.
