My guess what happened is similar to when a Linebacker gets called on an offside when he gets to the QB way to quickly.
Since the player who rebounded the ball came from outside the arc, the official probably felt there was no other way he could have come in to the paint and grab the board unless there was a lane violation?
For the last 20 min that is the only "defense" i can come up with for the ref. The Out of Bounds play may be more of a wrong call instead of bad call. There could have been a foul on the play, but if they didnt call the foul, it was definitely off the Syracuse player's hand.
