Would you call a foul if it will give disadvantage to the team fouled?

Fans and coaches erupted, but my crew kept it's composure and awarded the spot throw in.

Good case study for us, thanks for posting.

I disagree, assuming this is the play were still talking about:

A1 (offense) passes B1 and goes for a wide open layup, B2 sees that B1 lost the guy and intends to go for a hard foul by jumping into A1 without establishing legal position, A1 sees B2 coming for him and spots his teammate A2 wide open under the basket, passes the ball to A2 while A1 & B2 collides into each other while A2 receives the ball, in this case you would call a blocking foul on B2 or play on so A2 can proceed with an easy basket?

The only foul I am calling here is if the foul will be called intentional or flagrant.

If A2 misses the shot, tough luck. They got the most favorable option and blew it.
