Close, but I would've probably held the flag there on the hurdling. On the catch or no catch video, I say No Catch. As grainy as the video is, it looks nearly impossible that the player had any kind of posession in that time frame. Still, hard to comment without putting yourself there.
As far as the WH goes...there would've been a good bit of discussion about onfield comments and crew interaction after what I saw there. Calling out one of your own in a gametime situation is a monster no-no with any crew I've ever worked with in my years since I started in '92. Not only is that humiliating to the BJ or Ump or whoever that was, it makes the whole crew look bad. Now the players even take a second look at that official due to the WH's comments. Sounds like he gave a rather rude answer back to a coach or player that asked if it was hurdling.
Not to mention that call could've gone either way as far as hurdling goes based on NFHS guidelines.
