It is obvious you do not understand a basic concept. The term "Advantage/disadvantage" involves contact and fouls.
Have you ever seen a technical "carry" by a dribbler standing at the division line, all by himself and the nearest defender is below the 3 point line not in any way trying to prevent the movement of the ball handler? Well in many people's eyes this is not a necessary proper call because it might be a technical violation of the rules, but no advantage was gained by the dribbler so the violation is passed on. As opposed if the same carry takes place to try to set up a move to the basket or to maintain control of the ball and the player carries the ball and an official might make that call instead. You can violate rules on a technical level and not put anyone at a disadvantage.
I guess to you that particular call is based on advantage/disadvantage. In the OP, I would make a case that there was no advantage by the team with 6 players on the court for such a brief period of time during a summer league game. Unlike a regular season game there is not the same dead ball structures in place and usually this takes place out of pure confusion because some of the same things that happen during the regular season are not in place. And I am sure that is why the officials on this game simply passed on a T.
