Good feedback on both sides.
Whistle or not? I teach ... We go with the ref's decision and keep our heads in the "game" (easier said than done).
Some observations I did see after the fact:
The player who got hurt came back with a vengeance.
Both teams were warned to stop pushing while under the boards (twice).
This was early fourth quarter play with a 10 point spread. No warnings in the first 3 quarters.
The moral of the story for me is ... I like a quick whistle when both teams have good grip on the ball. Any physical display will only escalate if left unchecked.
