I watched the ad nauseum replay of the missed foul, too. The angles from above definitely showed the foul. But, when they showed the angle from around where I guess the trail would've been, I could see where the official might have thought Williams hit the ball first. Plus, we were seeing the replays in slo-mo replay.
Since I'm an ignorant fan/coach, whose call would that be? In two-man, its the official up top, right (trail?)? Is it the same for three-man?
I gotta tell ya, though, I see post-release contact like this all the time. Sometime its called, sometime its not. I mean, even the block that was called a held ball had contact on the follow-through after the block.
