I didn't yell across the floor I didn't it very respectfully with game management right there so only the student section could here me and then we continued the game, no more than a thirty second delay.

You went overboard...you had game management come over and deal with a student section that was doing absolutely nothing wrong. In their minds, they are left wondering what the heck is wrong with that ref and thinking that refs are jerks. The game management person is left shaking their head about the ref who made them deal with trivialities and threatened to clear the student section over that trivial comment.

And when people try to tell you that you went overboard, your response is to try to defend what you did.

Whatever.
