After finally seeing it, thanks to BayStateRef, I gotta agree with you. That certainly wasn't what could be called an "unprovoked attack" imo either. That doesn't justify the beatdown, but you also don't know if there was a history there or if something happened between those two previously in that game either. You can't go by the story from one side only.
Both refs did the right thing too imo. Someone got there off the bench real quick and both refs stood back and watched.
