No argument there. As an independent contractor, my opinion is one agrees to officiate the game from start to finish. Leaving early is a breach of that contract/promise.

Living in the paper's coverage area, I'll admit I'm familiar with both the sportswriter and the coach from my statistician days.
I wasn't at the game, so I can't comment on what happened. Still, a lot of the writer's articles during the past few sports seasons appear to go out of their way to portray game officials in a negative light  . That makes it difficult for me to read his columns.
