This was an excellent review and call.
There was a hook and hold play in the UK-Duke game which they did look at but, incorrectly, did not upgrade on video review. JD sent out a hellfire and brimstone video referencing the UK play an others saying "we want this eliminated from the game" and "if you call it, they will stop doing it".

This play has nothing to do with hook and hold. The hook and hold play is where you're trying to fool the official into thinking you are fouled while pulling the opponent with you or when hook and pull an opponent to the ground.
They called this a flagrant-1 because he wrapped him up with two hands. I'll leave it up to JD Collins and the Conference USA supervisor to determine if that was the best judgement for this play.
