That's correct. It was not a blown call, it was an interpretation of the rule.
I agree with Rich, FED manual is nothing but garbage!

I saw a similiar play several years ago in a playoff game, but in that situation the umpire did NOT signal catch or not. The play continued as if it was not a catch, then the umpire came back and said it was a catch. In that situation, I can see letting the play stand, (and of course ejecting a coach)

Thanks
