I didn't jog away until I thought things were settled on the floor, and they were. The only thing that was not "handled" was the gesture at my back, which would've happened regardless of how long I waited to report.

If I'd waited an extra 2 minutes for everybody to get up and migrate away from each other, then we might've gotten the T for the gesture. But I'm willing to trade that T for those 2 minutes.
Why are you so worried about some kid giving you the finger behind your back? We agree, there's nothing that can be done about that. In this sitch I'm more worried about that kid or some other kid cold-cocking his opponent behind your back. And having everyone in the building see it EXCEPT for the 3, count 'em 3 (!) officials. Just as everyone in the building saw your friend give you the finger, or whatever it was he did that you and your 2 partners did not see.

If you want to keep saying you're happy with how this played out then fine, just be aware that the way it played out was the crew missed something that was painfully obvious to everyone else.

That's all I'm saying.
