Tell us more about the experience level of you and the wing man. Understand, you are talking about a judgement call in which you and the WM have different angles - that alone could alter your judgements on a close play. As an observer and an instructor, I worry much more about the position the official is in and the area he is observing to make a call than the judgement itself. Judgement is just like an opinion - everyone has one!
No official likes his judgement questioned - not by fans, not by players or not by coaches - and especially from a fellow official who may not have his experience level. If you are inexperienced, you may have just learned your first major leason. The only friends you have on the field wears stripes and you had better learn to trust and back them even if you personally disagree with their judgement at times. Only when there is a history of poor judgement by an individual should you make it an issue. The right to critique in most officials eyes, comes with experience and longevity. Even then - you had better have more evidents than your opinion is better than his.
