I agree. It's not our job to make anybody happy. But I have been around long enough to know that
how a situation is handled can make a dramatic difference in how the game goes. At the end of this particular game, the best possible outcome would have been to have it end quickly and quietly. Neither of those are helped by delaying the end with foul calls. On the other hand, a fight is the worst possible outcome, and the game must be managed well enough to avoid it.
After the game my partner suggested that rather than call the T for the shove, I could have gotten in there and calmed the guys down. That seems a better way to handle that situation.
