I am given him the benefit of the doubt here because of the professional he is. I also realize that he just may have screwed the pooch and didn't want to come clean but .............. I find it hard to believe he got where he is being that devious all the time.
And the fact that there are three other umpires who called "nothing" tells me that it was NOT that obvious in real time what he had. (they were probably confused also)

He was left on his own, he made the call, and as they say "now its over but the cryin',

thanks
