Rules, changed by the ref, or correct interpretation?

Most definitely a bad call. Down at BAE there were a few last ditch efforts like this, but none of the balls were counted if they didn't pass through the counter. We had a pretty bad call though on a hang one match, as the ref used a piece of paper to check if our mechanism was above or below the plane. They ruled against it, but I felt like an official measurement should have been taken from the ground to see if it was most definitely below.
