Not too shabby.
Yes, a good play to remember, not only for the events in the case play, but for when a player puts the ball on the floor, does not rise, and grabs the ball again. That would result in no-call.

Doubting that scenario will ever happen but now that I have mentioned it, probably happen next week.
