Unless by "into play," he meant "at the disposal." I agree, though, the phrasing is a bit vague and begs for a more clear description of the timing. Also, as HokiePaul alluded to, it would have to be pretty clear that the ball was dead.
It may well have been clear, there are plenty of fouls that both officials see.
