I thought the same thing. It can be difficult for a PU to see a foul ball off a players foot which would definitely be in front of where this ball hit the ground. I think he was "create" an explanation to defend his over zealous call.
And yes, the player was definitely in the back of the box. I have no idea where the ball initially touched (behind or on the plate) but I know it didn't touch the catcher. As has been stated, he got it wrong.
