REPLY: Obviously, the HL's problem is one of attitude -- not competency. Almost sounds like he had some "personal" issues with the LJ. There's no reason to expect him to blindly agree with every call his crew mates make. But...there is definitely an expectation on the part of all crew members that their crew mates will act in a professional manner--especially when on the field in full view of both teams, coaches, and spectators. This is the line that your HL apparently crossed. He in essence undermined your authority as a crew of officials. I would give him a very stern talking-to about his shortcomings and promise him that any further violations of this type will be dealt with harshly and with the consensus of the rest of the crew.
