So, do you guys feel the officials reaction is worthy of a suspension?

So...
On the court, player A shoves B, and as a reaction B shoves back. How do you assess the penalty?
In this case coach shoves official, and as a reaction that is certainly understandable, official shoves back. How do you assess this penalty?
I can understand comments that an official has the right to defend himself, but a shove, while totally inappropriate, is hardly a justification for shoving back. In fact, this tactic is almost guaranteed to escalate the situation, not exactly a defensive maneuver.
Nope, I've got bad role modeling on both parties. And I'm not sure how to assess the penalty.

As far as player a and b, they both wacked with double technicals. As far as the coach, if he pushes or shoves me, he is gone.

That wasn't my question. What about the official in this case?
He shoved back too, just like your two players both of whom you are willing to penalize. Do you also penalize the official in this case?
