Look at the tape (have I said that before?).  He did not have his arm 
extended (far enough) toward the ball when the kid caught it (the ball) to 
reach the ball at the point it would have hit the wall.
Like I've said several times now, there is no way that he could have jumped 
in the fraction of a second it takes for the ball to travel less than three 
feet.
