I think you're right that these games are very important, and it's also true that they're unimportant. What matters in reffing is to keep the proper perspective. You do the best you can, and pay close attention to every game, regardless of the level. You give it your all while you're there. But there are many games that aren't worth fretting about afterward, and that goes for a lot of varsity and college games, too. Especially in the context of the OP, where it was the partner who was being the jerk, and not the post-er, fuming and stewing after the game is just not worth it. That doesn't mean the game wasn't important.
