That being said, I'm still confused. Why would the official report a flagrant 1 to the table, then go to the monitor? Especially when the rule book specifically discourages officials from using replay when there's a reasonable confidence that an illegal elbow did occur. I thought you go to the monitor to determine IF a flagrant 1 occurred that you didn't catch, or to determine if you need to upgrade a flagrant 1 to a flagrant 2. Is there anything on that play that makes it seem like the foul could be upgraded?
On top of that, why handcuff your officials by not allowing them to reverse a call when it's determined by replay that no contact actually occurred?
It's just a really weird situation.
