He catches the ball with his foot on the floor. The editor even paused the video!

I question, Why would the video be shown if it were so obvious the correct ruling was made?

To me, the case plays describe "what is or is not a BCV"!

Ok, let me have it!
I have read people suggest that he had one foot on the floor, but that is very sketchy at best. He might touch the ball with a toe on the floor, but he certainly does not possess the ball with that foot on the floor. So if that is the hill you want to die on when this is live, be my guest, but not a very good one to die on at all IMO.

I made the video because it was a good example of the rule. Most people do not know the rule or think that if he is touching the FC, he cannot touch the BC on a throw-in (Jump ball and defensive position).

Peace
