Glad we cleared that up!
While I would love to have seen the T have a whistle on this original shove/contact, the C hanging around to help out with the pressure on the throw-in is OK and something that I do and pre-game with my partners. Especially if there have been any "shenanigans" earlier in the game.
Would a double-whistle have averted the assault? I really don't think so - it just seems like the kid was primed for something and went after someone. If it's a double whistle, maybe he goes after the T instead, but what difference does that make?
So I don't really have any big issue with the way the crew handled this.
