1. There actually is no "juggling" rule to be found in the official Jai Alai rules (even though judges traditionally call it and the player loses the point). People tend to confuse this with the "loss of control" rule. If a player loses control of the ball, it is a loss of point. Inaki did not lose control of the ball, and so it was a judgement call. It's also possible the front judge judge did not see it as he also had to focus on ensuring he was out of the way for a speeding two wall throw.

2. "So, technically it was not interference...". Urutia knows the rules, however he made the decision to still run after the ball and attempt to catch it. Rules require the player to immediately stop all attempts to play the ball in order to be eligible for an interference call.
