JR...I'm getting in late on this one.
But, I'm with you. If we are going to error...I'm going to error on the side of protecting middle school players.
Evidently, the other official, in this game, saw it the same as JR and I.
Middle school players need to STOP on the whistle...the extra-curricular activity that follows these situations is what gets players hurt. The foul call by the official... that was actually there and saw the play...reinforces the idea of stopping play, or being ready to stop play, on the whistle. Just my opinion.

I agree with your opinion whole heartedly. But the fact is the whistle hadnt blown to STOP play. This happened before the whistle was blown. So you can blame the official for not having a quicker whistle to stop play or you can understand that sometimes things like this happen. What you cant do is punish the player for being aggressive.
