Quote:Rule 5.09(a)(1), the play can't be ruled a catch "if simultaneously or immediately following his contact with the ball, he collides with a player, or with a wall, or if he falls down, and as a result of such collision or falling, drops the ball."

It's tough because he was clearly in pain, but by the rules it was absolutely the right call that it's not a catch. It's hard to have a rule for that scenario any clearer than that.
