I saw a base umpire signal time by using the signal for a technical foul in basketball.

Was it the same guy who said the ground can't cause a fumble when a fielder dropped the ball after diving for it?

No, he claimed it was a catch because the outfielder held it for 2 steps.

Was that both feet down BEFORE he crossed the foul line? Or is it DBT?
