This might be funny, but I still don't think the position that you're taking will be productive for you in your career. You're setting yourself up to be one of those "politics" guys by not re-evaluating the situation and essentially calling the assignor a hypocrite. What happened in his game has absolutely no bearing on your game.
In regards to the other posters, I agree that the assignor and the other V ref did not handle the situation appropriately in regard to the OP. I would stop short of saying that the OP was thrown under the bus. Taken at face value, the assignor saw the entire incident, saw the non verbal communication that took place that we can't see and evidently made a judgement that the coach should not have been thrown. That's a judgement that the OP should learn from or try to learn from and self-evaluate to determine whether he could have done something differently. Continually defending a position without being open to criticism leaves no room for growth.
That being said, I don't believe that this situation should have any bearing on your future assignments, particularly if taken as a learning experience. Pulling games would amount to you being, in a way, thrown under a bus. The assignor needs to realize that it's a learning process in terms of dealing with these situations and should actively engage himself in helping you. Doing nothing but criticize and pull assignments would be throwing your career under the bus.
