The video obviously tipped them off that Cousins did SOMETHING - otherwise he would have gotten nothing. But he received a technical for SOMETHING. The video clearly must have shown the elbow, otherwise they wouldn't have had anything.
The question then becomes, by necessity, why was the forearm/elbow, which virtually everybody is saying was flagrant, not deemed as such?
Guys like Greene, Shows, and Cahill normally don't have one single problem making big calls, no matter what the situation. The question here is why they didn't toss Cousins for what was clearly an ejection-worthy, non-basketball play.
