The original post says he moved 18 inches, by the estimation of the television viewer. It's a 3 foot spot, which my interpretation tells me extends 18 inches each direction. Not a lot of room. Three feet isn't a much wider distance than an average college basketball player's feet would be spread during a throw in.
Frankly, not having seen the call, it sounds like it was at worst a questionable call, but hardly a bad call. It sounds like it was probably even the right call. Even if the mechanic was wrong.
