How about the crew with the black long sleeves under their short sleeve shirts?
Okay, looks like the back judge is closest, which isn't always an advantage. It appears as though the players largely have their backs or sides to him, and they're in a crowd, so he may only have been able to determine feet in bounds.
The wing (?) on the side is farther away, but may have a better angle looking in on the play. Without knowing what his thought process might have been, it could have been that he saw a juggle that we couldn't possibly have seen in a tiny video, and that he ruled that the A player didn't keep possession.
Don't know. Tough play. This is why we get the big bucks.
