The situations where it's needed to stick up for a fellow official can take many different forms. Both on and off the court. Recognizing those situations and then following through by standing up for a fellow official is important not only for the official you're standing up for but for officiating as a whole.

Not being there, I don't think we can say that. Who knows what those clinicians told them to do. I'd like to think the clinicians themselves would pull the crew from the court with what happened, but they didn't.
