Had I been on the field, I would have been within earshot of his explanation to the coaches. Once I realized he interepreted the rules wrong (and not just made a poor judgement call), we would have corrected it (and no, I'm not in the camp of overruling my partner's JUDGEMENT calls).
However, I was not on the field, and not an umpire for this contest. I can't tell you how hard it was to not say a word.
