Maybe even an explaination of a very unusual flag that was thrown. But I still say you don't stop the game to explain why you didn't throw a flag. You wouldn't do it near the end of the game when a team is in their hurry up offense with no timeouts. I also don't want to have to stop to decide whether this is a good time in the game to allow the offense time to think about their next play while I explain the rules to the fans.
And that's why I say use commons sense. Never stop the flow of the game. I'll use Hoculi as an example since he uses the mic real well to explain "no flag" situations. Most of the times he is moving to his position while making the "QB was out of the pocket" announcement and no part of the game was delayed.
