Our policy is to not influence the players' decisions. We are not there to decide what happens in the game.

No, you're not there to influence their decisions. You're there to insure that the game is fair for both teams. Make all the excuses you want, you didn't do that.
The young man said that he wanted to defer. He's not stupid so he knows the other team will elect to receive. So it went ahead and told you that they would defend the west goal. But no, your white hat had to show everyone how smart he is.
That's just plain over officious officiating. Glad I'm not on that crew.
