I am always happy when I get a ref who can get a situation like this right (and for the right reason - not just dumb luck!). This is a good sign that 1) they know the rules and 2) they know how to apply the rules to the unexpected situation and 3) they are really on top of what is happening on the floor that day. The refs that nail these kind of calls also tend to get a lot of other things right too, which makes the game so much better.
