Since there was no angle where you can see the ball until the very end, then there is no indisputable evidence that he didn't begin to lose control before the knee was down.

This is definitely the explanation the refs went with, and when there's any doubt they have to defer to the call on the field. I still gotta say I was surprised when they announced the call stands.
