WOW-- Did I miss something?

Fixit,
the rule regarding driving up opponents is related to ramps.

Facts are facts - no dispute there.
Both had a tube trying to score on the rack, if one tips the other in the process - it may or may not have been a penalty.

If one drove under the other, while not trying to score a tube - it may or may not have been the reason for the penalty.

The ref has the discretion of calling penalties.
Since we are NOT the ref, everything stated about why it was called, is just our opinions.

Did you miss something?

Yep, the ref's decision is final AND we don't always understand them. Sometimes the gray areas are difficult for everyone to agree on. Making the call is a tough job, most the time the ref's are right - sometimes they make mistakes (they are human), and often the results won't make everyone very happy.

Time to move on.
