Don't know the entire story but perhaps we have misunderstood jr's post.
I know I've had coaches/fans screaming and hollering for a particular call... there has been a time or two when I made the call they were requesting... in the other team's favor.
Coach incessantly yelling for 3-seconds... again, and again, and again... okay coach I'll give you a 3-second call. Wanna set down and coach your kids yet? ... and let me officiate?
jr didn't say he made up the calls - only that he made them... (I imagine the use of the word "instantly" wasn't quite so instantaneous in reality... you can't call two fouls on someone during a timeout. I suspect that Dad was wanting a particular call that both teams were committing and so jr likely called what Dad asked for...
Don't know, but perhaps as a whole we are being a little harsh on jr.
