If you thought it was flagrant then you should have tossed him/her. And to answer your question, honestly the way you talk, I believe that several of the people who responded with "flagrant" are more experienced then you.

1) Obviously I didn't think it was flagrant or I would have called it, regardless of who was watching. But, in a high profile game, or any game for that matter, I'm going to let the game call itself. Get the obvious, make the obvious and not go looking under the covers for the off the wall call. When I see a flagrant foul, I know it, I don't have to stop and think about it or come and ask for advice, that's the 'had to be there' factor.
2) Those that responded with flagrant are fine. I have no problem with their opinions, except for the one that said the kick should be an automatic flagrant and I disagree with that. Make it fit the situation and the intent of the rule which describes flagrant as 'of a violent or savage nature'. This was not violent or savage, imho.
3) Your comment about those who responded being more experienced than me is total bs. Neither of us knows whether that is true and it is irrelevant besides. It was an obvious poke and I don't appreciate the unprofessionalism.
