From the way the play was described, it sounds as if either player could have made the play "with ordinary effort." Since the mechanics for calling the IF include making the call while the ball is in flight, and had one player made the call for the ball, the catch could have been made with ordinary effort, I would have probably had the IF Rule in effect. Seems what was extraordinary about this play was the fact that the two fielders just stood there. Of course, like everyone else, this is just my humble opinion.
