Fun With A Take Down …

Not the players, not the officials, and not the offended head coach. The players just stood around (nobody immediately came to the aid of White #32). The Trail just sounded her whistle and headed to the reporting area. The Lead just stayed glued to his spot on the opposite side of the lane. White head coach just stayed in his coaching box with his arms calmly crossed.

Maybe this wasn't as violent as I first thought?

If it had been, opponents would be "jawing" at each other, with teammates coming to the aid of White #32. Both officials would be moving toward the two involved players to prevent any further escalation. The coach would immediately be complaining for an upgraded foul while getting ready to move toward his injured player.

Why didn't this play go sideways?

Perhaps almost no one was looking at the two players involved as this was away from the ball. Hard to get upset about something that one doesn’t see.

True. The rough play was away from the ball.

But the rough contact happened right in front of the Trail (not sure, but she may even have called a foul on the "throw down").

The Trail "got out of Dodge" like the table was giving away free ice cream, despite the fact that there was a player lying face down on the floor.
