Just because there was a timing error does not mean that whistles do not matter.

So you're thinking the whistle blew when trail pointed at the ball as it bounced on the floor?
Ah, I thought we'd decided that the trail was pointing at the player to indicate a tip. I thought the whistle came as the ball was past the plane of the oob, but hadn't yet touched the table person.
Hmmm, where's that video clip again? I can't find it!!
