Maybe the players and coaches here are just smarter than where you are . . .

Don't think too deeply about what you think I believe. My thoughts on why this is a no call, for me personally, is not as simple as you described.
There are some plays where a call, even if correct, can have a much more negative effect on the game then a no-call. I don't think there are many but there are some. I think this is one of those plays as it is EXACTLY described. Keep in mind, this is the first time I ever gave this play any thought and if I encounter this situation and it plays out different from what I have in my mind now, I will reverse my position.
