You're right - I guess they should have just let him sit there, or cancelled the whole flight so nobody got where they wanted to be. That would have solved everything.
No, as about four thousand posts have already suggested here, they should have raised the VDB offer until someone voluntarily gave up their seat. Or found another way to get their crew to Louisville.

If you really believe UA had "no choice" but to have this man assaulted, well . . . .
