What did the rule look like at the time of this incident?
Regardless of the answer, there are some clear differences than what happened in the Wideman case. Joseph fell down, and while falling also knocked the referee down. Moreover, maybe this constitutes a missed call that should have been made, and as such can't really be used to legitimate Wideman's actions or their outcome.
