I won't speak for Alan, but I'll say what I took away from the talk.
So many officials simply say that they'll do nothing in those situations but back up and take numbers -- I think he's saying that attempting within reason to break up a fight or physically preventing one when starting is not the legal bogeyman that everyone is making it out to be.

NASO Conference: Excellent - planning to attend again this summer!
San Antonio, TX
July 31 – August 2, 2016
Alan's words: "Good officials don't let players fight" could have been the opening line for a day long Socratic seminar, involving officials, attorneys and rules committees from: NFHS, NCAA, FIBA and NBA.
