Officials chose to "look the other way".
What do you think?

Both reactions came from frustration on the player's part. In #1, the player was frustrated at him/herself for committing a turnover. In #2, the player was frustrated at the official's call. Big difference.
Imo, if any calls were to be made, the calls should have been reversed. Look the other way on the player who
isn't showing up an official; call a "T" on the player that is.
