If I come away from a game second guessing myself then I may not have done the best I could have. Perhaps the coaches comments did influence your call making process and you want some back. If you can walk away and feel ok about the game then you did well. I see a little of both in your post so live and learn.
An example I have is a partner came up to me and told me that the best player on Team A had 4 fouls and we better make darn sure his 5th is well earned. I found myself changing the way I was making my calls after that and the game seemed to get a little out of hand (rough play) while I waited for this kid to hack his way out of the game. Anyway once I shook my head and got rid of the kid the game finished without incident. I walked away wishing I had not changed my focus and learned a lesson, NO player is protected from fouling out, call the game consistant and you have no problems.

Don't take my comments too literal, I was passing on calls that were fouls but not hard fouls and I know that was wrong.
