Actually the White player as I remember it correctly only tied the ball up after the second attempt to grab the ball. The video does not confirm that as the ball is mostly hidden from the camera angle. And most of all, it was close and why we get paid the big bucks.

I can see why you did it, even without a good angle on our end. It does appear Red secured the ball first.
Also saved you two from remembering who would've had to jump  I hate rules like that which are different between the NFHS/NCAA codes. Makes me have to think out there which is a bad, bad thing.
