The debate involves the USA Definition of No Catch under Rule 1. It says it is not a catch:

3. When the fielder catches a batted or thrown ball with anything other than the hand(s) or glove / mitt in its proper place.

The issue here is that the ball knocked the glove off the fielder's hand before he/she demonstrates control of it. Once he/she prevents the glove from falling on the ground with the ball in it, does that make it a catch or not? Since the glove is not in its proper place at that moment, does the fielder still need to reach into the glove to secure the ball in his/her hand to finally validate the catch? Or is it sufficient to simply hold onto the glove with the ball in it?
