The referee signaled holding just fine, but when he attempted to say “number 76,” his voice seemed to give out on him.
As nervous as he may be, you must imagine the nerves the players are dealing with. The referee has been dealing with this problem all game, drawing serious criticism and sympathy online

A ref having these voice cracks is a literal nightmare
