Only because the report was already on its way. I'm not giving your assigner a pass on this. His request alone was inexcusable.
Had your assigner successfully quenched the report by asking that you not send it, and if you had complied, that would leave bus tire tracks all over you.
It would be as if the technical foul you called, and the unsporting behavior that spawned it, never occurred, but everybody in the gym would know otherwise, that both the unsporting behavior and the technical foul really did occur, all within your official jurisdiction.

You actually did your assigner (and yourself) a favor by sending your report to the state so quickly, unable to even consider pulling it back.
Cover ups are often worse than what's being covered up.
