Unfortunately, none of the camera angles on the replay let you see as much as the official standing right on the baseline (this may come as a shock to some couch potato "rules gurus!").

Looking at the replay, the Kent State player was on his way down before releasing the shot. I'm willing to bet that his pivot foot returned to the floor before getting off the shot, and that's why the held ball was called (which actually benefits Kent State).
