Should the official eat this one? Probably.
Why? Because he did a poor job of managing this problem waiting to happen for the entire game. It doesn't make much sense to start managing properly now that the game is over. JMO

I can't really disagree with this. I can't imagine letting it go that long. I've been known to approach a player and say, "I don't expect you to agree with every call I make, but I do expect you to control yourself." I've done it a handful of times, and it's worked every time.
Now, if I'd done this, and it didn't work, I'd talk to the coach. After that, it might be T time.
If I'd done this, and it did work; and then the player ended up following the 4th quarter horn with "You suck," it's T time also.
