Thanks for all your replies -- I was, indeed, referring to the jewelry situation, not an illegal substitution since it wasn't. (Gotta work on my English--and unlike ilya I was born and raised right here in Oregon, with English teachers on both sides of the family going way back!!)
I am surprised to hear that this particular referee was wrong about the "T" -- she is one of the best refs in our association and I would have expected her to have averything nailed down. Oh, well, this is a lesson -- no one is ever perfect.
On the other hand, I was amazed at her ability to carry this off which she did withont any protest at all from anyone. (Except for the guy who quietly came to me and asked about the rule). Even the girl who took the "T" never said a word, although she never played after being sat down like that ( I wondered whY...)
With regard to the coach who pulled the T out of her, he never said a word of complalint the rest of the game, although my partner (from the previous game--we were watching together and comparing notes) had said before the game started that we would time how long 9it took for him to be ejected -- he was apparently thrown out of several games gefore Cnristmas, and is in the process of being replaced since several parents have pulled their daughters, and the AD is disgusted with him (so I was told). But this ref managed him well, or else he has turned over a new leaf.
Next question: would it be appropriate for me to talk to here about all this? Gently let her know she was wrong about the T and also ask about her "Management Skills?"
