I agree there are no guarantee's I am speaking in Generalities- but it is better to be pro-active than re-active.

I think the statement is meant to mean that as LrPalmer said again in generalities - there was probably something you could have done better to prevent it.

I am sure they are looking at that also - I do not think anyone is looking to fire you - they will however try to see if there was something you might have been able to do better and bring it to your attention.

There will always be the punches thrown because somebody said "Yo MAMA wears army boots" or a hard foul that truely came out of nowhere.
but In my experience in most instances of fighting or even some cases of almost fights might have been prevented had the officials dealt with things earlier in the game.
