If I have to look at slow motion replay to determine when he had the ball, then this would not be a good call to make. This is not about the NBA or any other level, I am not calling it that close ever at any game with any kind of players on the floor. We do not call these just by rule, we call them by judgment as well. I am not confident he had full possession of the ball when the foot was on the floor.
