Thats just how I would call it if I was head ref, it makes people mad but when it comes down to judgments like this the head ref's decision is final.

Then you and I have vastly different opinions of egregious.
Any ref who would red card a team for playing SMART (take a penalty to prevent 1 or 2 uber tubes from being scored is a smart move since you are trading 3 points for a significant amount of points) has no right being a ref. They are there to enforce the rules as written not to editorialize on how we should play the game. If the GDC wanted teams to be left alone they would either not make it worth our time to play defensively or make it a red card. (I would prefer the former.)
