I would have thought he would have called a foul if he thought the player was pushed out of bounds.
My "Better Half" called out of bounds when she watched the play has it happened live (of course it helps to have a 46" HD screen on which to watch the game,  ).

I believe that when the player's foot came down it completely covered the 2-inch line, but did not touch the fat painted area outside of that. If the official was solely focused on the foot in that small area and while looking in that small spot sees inbounds-colored court to the side of the foot, it would appear that the player was inbounds.
