Should I have let Team A continue to press the heck out of Team B?

While I'm sure we've all been there and certainly feel your pain, you are not the coach! "Your intention is to get Team A out of the press?"
You/your partner's intention should be to be to call the best game you can, not impose your own philosophy.
You are the ref. An impartial member of the 3rd team on the floor. Remember, the only people in the entire gym who don't (shouldn't) care who wins are you and your partner(s).
Your mission is to call the game as you see it - a foul in the first minute is a foul in the last minute. Distasteful as it may be, you should not influence the score/game because of personal bias and not liking a coaches philosphy. JMO
