I'm sorry but I must have missed the rule that states it's illegal to drop the ball to the ground. Could you please point it out for me?

It many have bounced high, but that was not visible.

Partner, you are truly clueless. I'd suggest you watch the play because you obviously haven't. The ball is tossed in the air and almost hits him in the head 3-4 seconds later.
Toss a ball over your shoulder and see if it takes 4 seconds to land AND see if it hits you in the head.
