Did you miss the part that the refs were young HS kids...14-16 years old? Most of them couldn't have more than a few games on the books. Most will probably be very slow to call a T to start with but a few will get easily flustered over nothing (something misheard and or misunderstood) and/or will be trigger happy.
I'm entirely OK with the more mature and independant board member reviewing the situation with regards to suspensions. More often than not, I bet they'll be confirming the T rather than overriding or even stepping in and dealing with an out of control coach when the kid is clamming up.
