How long have you had to live that one down.

That is good stuff!

What if white is playing blue and it is tipped at the same time by both teams before it goes out. Instead of alternating possession can I just call out "light blue?"

Truth be told it really P's me off..

You should be really P'd off at yourself that you let someone make you doubt a very basic rule. Even if you didn't want to argue on the court once you pulled out the rule book after the game you should have been satisfied you were correct.
