In general, I agree with you. However, nothing is perfect. I had a game once that was very "mild" - few fouls, certainly nothing even coming close to "rough play". With about two minutes left, one player just up and punched another player right in the mouth. This was a boys varsity rec game.
No one could have seen this coming and there was nothing beforehand that could have tipped us off.
Both coaches were aghast (get out your dictionary).
BTW - we never found out what prompted it.
