Force The Switch ...

The non-calling old trail "forced the switch" as he was supposed to do, but for some reason the calling official didn't accept the forced switch.

Sometimes officials just get turned around in the heat of the moment.

I like that the old trail, despite being correct, didn't hang around to debate the issue with his partner and just "got out of Dodge". Playing a game of, "I'm here (while pointing), no your'e there (while pointing)", always looks bad, and getting the ball into play smoothly always "trumps" getting the switch correct, especially if it's only once, or twice, a game.
