I understand that sentiment. I saw the play in real time, and as McGary went down, surmised what had happened by where McGary was putting his arms. CBS immediately went to a replay, and I saw the punch/hit. I don't have anyone to back this up cuz I was watching alone, but I said out loud "flagrant 1!". I knew the call about 10 seconds after it happened.
I'm not claiming I'm better or quicker than the actual officials, but in this case I thought it didn't take very long to deduce the correct penalty.
