So I'm assuming (to be generous to the official) THAT's the foul that was called.

The kid pushes him a little and moves him more because Mamadou is reaching for the ball and did not have both feet flat on the floor. I know, irrelevant as to whether he was displaced, but having a patient whistle on this gets us a no call. That was not a foul, even though he had two hands in the back.
