Thanks guys for all the comments. After thinking about it hard and long over the weekend this is what I came up with. I decided that if this ever happens again and is a definate 'excessive swinging of the elbows', then it will be an automatic T. It sounds like the best thing would have been to go ahead and give that T and live with coach B who is winning by a big margin. After all, how can you argue with the call if it's right out of the rule book. I know that score should and did not make the difference on whether I called it or not. Dave Brost did have it pretty much right on in his comments. Thanks Dave !!!
I've also decided not to beat myself up over this non-call and move on. There will be other games and situations in which more questions will come up, I'm sure of that.
