It says in the rule book that aggressive play is judgemental and determined by the refs, and thats what they apparently made the call on.
Chill out.

I'm glad you were there and saw this happen because my impression from sw's posts was that he told the ref he thought it was a bad call and asked for an explaination. I assumed that he did so in a reasonable manner, but apparently he was actually screaming at the refs, which is definitely a bad thing to do. Thanks for clearing up my obvious misconception.
That aside, I think teams do deserve good explainations of their violations. A head ref should be more than willing to tell a team very clearly what rule they violated and why it was called this way. It should already be clear in their minds if they're making the call anyways, and they should be more than willing to let a team know why they were penalized so they can avoid it in the future.
