Thanks for all the great imput. I expect nothing short of that posting in this great forum. I'd like to comment on a few suggestions:

"You might have said when I get a chance I'll tell you what I saw."

I think this is a valid response to the coach. I believe my only comment as I was running past was something to the effect of "I didn't see it that way." I should have took the opportunity on a dead ball to address this. My only concern is that I may be inviting a heated discussion several minutes after it was "over." Perhaps my lack of addressing it, simply stirred the boiling pot.

I can't help but think that unless B2 pushed A2 to the ground on that shot in a way that made even B's fans drop their jaws you should have left this alone, at least until you saw if the ball went in or not.

My partner's thoughts exactly. As he explained it, "we were calling fouls based on advantage/disadvantage all game. There was no obvious advantage there, after the ball went in."

You should have called your assignor first to give him your side of the story and a heads up

I am trying to reach him. I left him a message today (based on your suggestion). Thanks!

Make sure your name is in the home book & the visitors book for every game. This will avoid the "I need to get your name" mess after games.

Our names were in the book and he had them on his rating sheet. He probably forgot who was who, ten seconds after we introduced ourselves.

Sorry. I don't know how to post the past comments (bold) like everyone else does.

I am hanging in there!
