Thanks to everybody for their responses.
I was blessed with the luxury of having the situation occur in the last half of the last game of the season giving me time to collect my thoughts and the thoughts here.
Let me share my emotions when it happened.
The argument was loud and I tried to settle it down. The HL turned and walked away as I tried unsuccessfully to call him back. With only the LJ present, I finished the penalty enforcement. But the remaining eight minutes was tough not knowing if the HL would go off beofre the clock reached zero.
However, when the game was finished and we were securely away from teams, coaches, etc. I let it be known my displeasure with what I saw in front of the crew because I felt it was importnant to let everyone know this was not going to be standard practice.
Now that this has been shared with officials who are serious about their officiating I have the answer and it is time to act.
PS. I disciplined this official the prior season for yelling and grabbing a player.
