A lot going on during this play. (Video)

This is a perfect reason you need 3 person. An official at the very least would have been right on top of this play at the very least. That being said, I am shocked this was not called at some point with 2 person. This play was out in the open and the official moved his position and still did not see all the contact. Makes me wonder the experience level of the official as I cannot imagine letting any of this go because of what happen immediately after the play.

Now let us talk about what we do with the benches here? Are we ejecting anyone after nothing was originally called? It looks like the I see possibly 4 players come off the gold team bench (3 have warm ups that I can count) and I could make a case for about the same on the white bench, even though they are kind of in front of their bench. Now this appears to be the end of the quarter or half on some level, would that matter to anyone?

Peace

My first thought:

If the crew is that unaware that they didn't get a foul on the play, there's no chance they're aware of who, if anyone, comes off the bench.

This crew's handling of this situation is a loss cause. But even if you called the foul you might have people come off the bench as it would take officials some time to get to them or likely stop a reaction. I was wondering about what we see and what we would do.
