After the 2nd T, McCall then goes tableside that allows Floyd to keep screaming at him. Why even go close to a coach (who is obviously upset with you) that has been ejected?
Hall goes into a "touchy-feely" dance with Floyd. It appears that Hall is trying to appease Floyd and (0:48of the clip) even motions toward McCall in a "ask him" response. Now we don't know what was said but the appearance of Hall trying to play "good-cop/bad-cop" doesn't look good.
After the 2nd T, Hall then goes to the scorebook without addressing Floyd who is still on the floor. Sure, game management doesn't do the best job at getting Floyd off the floor but there is no reason why Cartmell has to deal with Floyd alone. Cartmell (without putting a hand on him) does his best to keep Floyd away from McCall. Deal with the coach first, then go to the scorebook and access the penalties.

I disagree as well. It is very easy to say what you should do when you are not there or not in the situation. Actually I looked at many of the actions by the officials similar to a baseball crew trying to get a mad man manager/coach off the field. Not sure what you can do if the guy wants to yell and scream and rant and rave like that. Most coaches do not act that way and I am sure they were trying to get on with the game. Easy to say what should be done when the actions of the coach were so over the top.
