I know that a partner like that can ruin your whole night and certainly doesn't build confidence but why wouldn't you go to him on the pulled foot call? Were you concerned that he would question your judgement on the timing rather than just answer if there was a pulled foot? I know that with someone like that the appeal should be a private conversation between you and him to prevent his saying that the throw was late but just because he's a, putting it politely, jerk, doesn't mean that you shouldn't go to him when proceedure dictates in a manner that prevents his adding to his idiocy.
