It was really close
I agree with your point. I really thought that each would get a flagrant. So did Mr. Dykes. I don't want to criticize the officials' judgment. It was a close call, I wouldn't necessarily call it an elbow and a push. In the original post, I called it a "half elbow" followed by an arm bar. It all happened fast as they were separating from rebounding action. I wish I had video so you could see for yourself. My primary point was that Mr. Dykes was right on top of the rules situation.
