What is control? I think that is what the worst part of the rule is, as control is not defined.
Until the Competition Committee can define that for people, then arguments like this will always be had.

Completely agree.

Control is pretty clear. Unless you are shifting the ball from one arm to another intentionally it has to maintain position in your body and not move if it hits the ground.
People like to act like there is some science to this, but the only area that is gray in this is when the person controls it for 2+steps and then makes a football move. That is the case where it is questionable but that in no way, shape or form applied to this situation.
I think it is clearly hitting the ground from the views shown and should have been confirmed. I can understand physics and realize the ball clearly was touching the ground prior to it moving. This ref chose to take the safe route and call it as "Stands".
In no way should it be overturned to a completed catch.
Furthermore, that play didn't determine the result of the game like some are trying to claim.
