Its been interesting. Have probably asked 10 umpires and gotten 10 different rulings and/or reasons for the call they would have made. And I probably shouldn't have used the language "high level" umpires. Just some local HS and college umpires who are well regarded in our area.
I think I buy your reason though...combined with the exception in 7.08(f).
I DO think that these umpires got themselves into trouble with the initial IFF call as it was not a catchable ball as far as I could tell. Once he made it, I guess he had to live with it.
Thanks everyone.
