Strange yellow card

The Referee Store
I'd say that you're both right

interpretation of the lotg

handling the ball - touching the ball with an object held in the hand (clothing, shinguard, etc)

disciplinary sanctions - there are circumstances when a caution for ub is required when a player deliberately handles the ball, e.g. when a player deliberately handles the ball to prevent an opponent gaining possession
 
Spot on, deliberate handball. This video (or one very similar) came up in our training course way back in 2012. Had the room divided but I backed the right approach. Same as if somebody throws something and it hits the ball, IE, throws a shinpad, boot, etc.
 
I'd just put it as USB and tell everyone that it's common sense. You won't get many questioning it.

at which point did his hand or arm ever touch the ball?
USB and a caution, but it's clearly not 'handball'

LOTG said:
Handling the ball involves a deliberate act of a player making contact with
the ball with his hand or arm. The referee must take the following into
consideration:
• the movement of the hand towards the ball (not the ball towards the hand)
• the distance between the opponent and the ball (unexpected ball)
• the position of the hand does not necessarily mean that there is an
infringement
• touching the ball with an object held in the hand (clothing, shinguard, etc.)
counts as an infringement
• hitting the ball with a thrown object (boot, shinguard, etc.) counts as an
infringement
