Also, we must remember that the catch was made while the player was already in the air, so if the timing was correct, the hang time was some amount in excess of 1.2. Is this a long time in the air or not?

Did the math myself. If this kid is traveling at 14 mph, (100 yd. dash in 14.6)
in 1.2 seconds he would cover nearly 25 feet. Sounds doubtful to me.
