This is a clear miss. Obviously, they got together and discussed what could happen. But I feel they did not consider that a tap can be with two hands. I think they took the "Catch and shoot" interpretation too much to heart.
And most of all they all were adamant to wave this off, which I am not an advocate for. Now if it was a clear catch and shoot, then yes I have no problem with the calling officials on the play to make a ruling. But it seems like to me they should have discussed this. The shot was obviously off in time. Unfortunately, they probably did not have a monitor either.
Peace
