The ball popped out the second he brought the actual ball tot he ground. It is not a catch until that happens. If he would have come up with the ball after the ball hit the ground, then yes. He also would have been better served to use his other hand to cover the ball. And this rule also is designed to give the player credit if the ball hits the ground and still maintain control. He did not do that which is why this was waved off as it should be. That is the rule and all I hear is what is "should be." Well it is not the rule to decide when it is convenient.
