Was at the game, and it looked like Duplantis made the diving catch in top of 9th.
Did they show in slow motion on TV? If he did make the catch, why didn’t Mainieri use a coaches challenge? New SEC rules allow for Coach video review!

We asked him from right field right after the play, he shook his head no.

It hopped. Replay confirmed it.

It bounced and you couldn't tell clearly whether it bounced in his glove or hit the turf so bounce = no catch. CPM had all of the resources he needed to decide to not challenge.
He made the correct decision as there was at best inconclusive evidence to overturn the decision.

Maybe I have officially been ruined by the rant but I always read threads like these as someone looking for confirmation that the coach didn’t do something perfectly so they can blame the coach for everything and let out their coach bashing eating at their heart. Sorry to OP if this is not what you meant just how I read them.

I was sitting right there & thought he had it until they showed the replay on the screen
Clearly showed the hop

You are correct, not what I was implying. Just asking for an answer! Was discussing with someone the catch and missed the reply on video board. Another fan near by said the video board showed it was a catch. So just wondering if they decided to do away with video challenge.

Even Ben McDonald said it wasn't a catch.

Maybe with Dups knowing it wouldn’t be overturned he didn’t signal CPM to challenge

Yep I’m sure if Duplantis thought he had caught it he would’ve put up more of an arguement.
