Yeah. Consider something like a throw in, a player will pick up a ball, walk behind the line and throw it onto a pitch underhanded for another player to take the throw. Technically, that ought to count as a foul throw in and change possession, but the refs never call it. They just let the next player attempt a proper throw in.
That hand ball is similar to me, plus the whistle confusion. Would have been really harsh.
