In the OP (and based on subsequent posts) the ball *may not* have been in the FC when it was deflected -- so, based on this (and my subsequent reading of the rule), it may still have been a BC violation (depending, perhaps, on the loss of control / dribble issue).
In any event, if it takes all this to decide, then the official was correct -- no matter what the zapruder film shows.
