As all the posts above say - your partner doesn't have a clue as to what the rule is. Is this guy a real veteran? If so, that might explain why he is doing freshman games.
Since he is so intuitive as to be able to decide whether a player was really trying to score by the manner in which he releases the ball, I wonder if he would have made the same call (and waived off the point) if the ball had gone in due to some fluke.
Try explaining that to a coach!
