Buh-Bye!

He embarassed the player.

Oh, please. This is a pretty silly (and I'm being generous with language here) comment. He did what he needed to do (or thought he needed to do) to keep control of the game at that point.

Perhaps you've never been in a situation like that, but worrying about the potential embarrassment of a player who just tried to cold-cock someone is absurd.
