I have a question? Was the coach very vocal during the entire game and if so was there any attempt to get on top of the situation?
Sometimes if we don't take care of it early it will have a tendency to get worse as the game goes on and blow up in the end.

I agree that if my partner has a problem many times it is better if I take some of the heat off of him. This will work if I am a strong official and have confidence in my abilities. Double barrels have twice the knockdown power!

Even though you choose not to eject, you may want to file a game report anyway and creat discussion with those who are responsible for these issues.

It is not an easy issue and you handled it the best that you could in a very difficult situation. Ignoring or ejecting it is not an easy choice. I think becuase as we all know we are nice guys we have a tendency to finish last no matter what we decide.
