I could look anyone in the eye under those circumstances and say "I had control of the game up to that point". I could also look 'em in the eye and say "I also maintained control of the game after that point". If I took care of the situation properly, then at no time was the game ever out of control.

Players starting to push each other are not necessarily the fault of an official. Sh!t simply happens sometimes- out of nowhere. I don't think that you can ever make a blanket statement blaming the officials for losing control just because a player happened to push another player.
