You Make The Call - Locked Hands

With 0:06 left in the third period the 220 lb. Super 32 semifinal match between Braxton Amos and Lewis Fernandes, the score was tied 2-2 and they went out of bounds. It appeared that the match would be headed to overtime.

On the restart Amos makes his way to his feet and hits a granby roll. As he hits the ground and tries to roll through he is stopped by the hands of Fernandes which are locked around his waist.

The assistant official saw the locked hands, notified the main ref who made the call, awarded the point to Amos and declared him the winner.

At the time, it seemed clear to me that they got the call right. But, Ben Askren, who had no dog in the fight, was across the mat and urged Fernandes' coaches to challenge the call. His reasoning was that since Amos was on his back and in nearfall criteria, it was ok for Fernandes to have his hands locked.

Another question that comes to mind is reaction time. When you look at the video in slow motion you can see that the clock strikes 0:01 at almost the exact same moment as Amos hits the mat for the roll. Is one second enough reaction time?​

In the end it was reviewed and the call on the mat was upheld. Amos, of course, went on the win in the championship finals and take home the belt.

What do you think, did they get this call right?
