Exactly. RWBY attacked Roman. During the first raid Glynda showed up because they probably heard of the raid and wanted to catch him, but Cinder's interference made it impossible.

Throughout the entire series, the greatest crisis Team RWBY has ever faced was none other than the Nevermore and Deathstalker. However, Professor Ozpin did not, and would not help not only to avoid showing favoritism, but also not shield them from the reality of being a Hunter. With their wit and exceptional skill, Team RWBY and JNPR defeated both of the Grimm.

Now then. If Team RWBY has proven themselves capable enough to defeat a Nevermore on their Initiation Day, when their so-called teamwork can only happen completely by instinct, do you think that Ozpin seriously needs to worry about them fighting a bunch of goons? Neither Roman nor the Atlesian Paladin could amount to the threat a single Nevermore poses.

Second point. There's a difference between protecting someone from harm, and being over-protective. They are Hunters. They are the ones who will be the shield to defend humanity from harm. If the Headmaster has to show himself every time a Team gets into trouble - and they will - then he might as well not let anyone be Hunters at all. Professor Ozpin thus far had struck a good balance, and I will agree with his decision that - even if we assume that he is all-seeing and knows exactly that Team RWBY is 'playing' behind his back, which I highly doubt considering that he generally does not interfere with their freedom of choice unless absolutely necessary, neither fights against Roman or the Atlesian Paladin required any help from him at all. Team RWBY are perfectly capable of protecting themselves and carry out their objectives, whatever they may be.

When the time comes that his students cannot defend themselves against a threat beyond their abilities, Professor Ozpin will aid them one way or another.

As for proof that he is indeed protecting his students, his swift communication to the Black and White incident is enough in my opinion. If you want something more concrete, I believe that we'll see it very soon in recent Episodes.
