I cannot speak for this specific play, but I have been in arenas where controversial calls are made and they do not show them arbitrary on the Jumbotron. And I am sure someone that is there would know how the crowd reaction would be. I know when they do show a close play in other situations, the crowd goes nuts when they "think" the call has been blown. There was no question in this case. And I do not know why anyone here would take the advice of the announcers considering how accurate they have been in the past about plays and situations.
