I am not arguing the point about the reaction, though noting, it was a reaction.
But carroll did not need to swing his arm. It wasn't for balance (he was already down).
Forgetting the reaction (as that is after the fact), Carroll had no reason to swing his arm, except to do something. Whether he catches the guy should be irrelevant.
