If the player has control of the ball when he is going to the ground that is a catch, the ground can not assist in the catch. The key is, does he have control there, that is not conclusive which it has to be to be overturned.


You can't trap the ball. IF the tip hits the ground and it it's not corralled than you can't call it a catch. However, I have seen nothing definitive and the call was a catch. It probably shouldn't have been overturned but we have no idea if there was another angle, as the announcers even conceded.
