White 34...
...is the near equivalent of a hockey goon. In context, foul #1 might get just treated as a hard foul, but once he commits a similar action (as he did in #3, and definitely #5), he's gone. In scenario #2, I don't understand how no push is called on White 34 (even though Red 20 got the rebound), or even a double foul on Red 20 and White 42. That was an opportunity to send a message, and the official let the rough play continue.
For me, White 34 was a big problem, and not adequately addressing his misbehavior was a mistake. Also, none of these officials looked like they were physically or attitunidally up to this type of game. White 34 stands with a smirk on his face after nearly decapitating an opponent, and you have a friendly chat with him? That's disgraceful.
If you're not willing to handle business, you shouldn't be involved in this type work.
