If two officials can't handle 4 guys on the floor, then we have bigger problems than a gesture at my back. The guys on the floor were being handled. So there was no reason for me to be there.

The guy behind me was behind me. I can't very well eyeball him forever; I have to report the foul sometime. His teammate took him out of my face and that's all I cared about.

I really don't think there was much more to be done, unless you're saying that the reporting official should always wait to report until all bodies are up off the floor and separated. And in that case, I would probably disagree with you. And even if I agreed with you, this kid would still have made the gesture behind my back. So I still think there wasn't much more that could've been done.
