"Merely guiding the ball to the ground should not be considered an intentionally dropped ball"
It appeared to me that he actually caught the ball and then let go of it in front of himself, but it happened quickly and he could have actually just guided the ball down. It definitely did not just bounce out his glove. I took this rule to have the same intent as the IF rule, which is to protect the offense. If you don't rule this like a catch, the offense is put at a severe disadvantage and would have been better of with an IF.
