What info would a booking agent have?

I believe 'booking agent' is a (possibly more Canadian than not) term for assignor. As assignors are sometimes also commissioners, perhaps that's why the booking agent involvement is suggested.

Well, I'm an assignor- and I can tell you one thing. If I ever did anything like that, I just lost myself an official. The guy that called the "T" is gonna say " I don't need this crap" and he's gonna go bye-bye. And I don't blame him one bit.
There's got to be a heckuva lot more to this story than what we've heard so far.... and I ain't passing judgement on any official until I hear it.

I agree. I think the conference got in touch with the assignor and he in turn got in touch with the Referee. I am assuming that the calling official was the Umpire. Anyway, I guess maybe the Referee felt the technical was unwarranted (maybe the assistant didn't really cuss the other official out after all - that part of the story came from the home team). I don't really know. I think the whole thing is bizarre and probably could have been avoided if the officials had left the "visual confines of the court" as was suggested earlier.
