I missed the identical call about 10 years ago in the finals of a tournament. I went out, but from my angle, all I saw was F8 hit the ground and then come up throwing. I did have a fleeting moment of "Hey, did he reach for that ball behind him on the ground?" but I called an out. The call cost the offense the game, but I was relieved when they won the next game to win the tourney.

Yes, there was an argument. A lot of people, from a better angle, had seen what actually happened.

As we all know, we can learn to minimize the plays we simply can't see for certain, but we can't eliminate them entirely.
