The two situations are not anywhere near the same. The travel call or "no-call" was in the primary and secondary coverage area of two officials. So the official in the secondary area if he saw something obvious (at least what appeared here) he can make a call.
As it relates to what I would have done, I would not have done a damn thing. If you are talking about a judgement call, there is nothing for me to say. Then the next question I would have, why would I be paying that close attention? Aren't the other players doing stuff on the court?

at such a crucial time/score situation in the game ?

Not their job. And again, this is a judgement call. You do not come in a change or give information on judgement calls. Unless we are talking about a basket going in or a possible out of bounds play, there are not many situations that you give that information.

I think that is a personal thing. But I do not see this as someone not knowing the rule.

Not the entire crew, but maybe the particular official, if his call was subjected to that much scrutiny. But I am not one that feels that the call was that bad from my TV view.

It might have affected whether I called a technical foul or not, nothing more, nothing less.

Who knows. They do not make it a point to know these things. But just knowing the rules is not going to help your talent or your winning percentage.
