It's in Jim Booths Rule Myths Dukat.........

My feeling is the umpire did the "rookie" a big dis-service.

I once did something similar in our rookie "Umpires Tournament" on a call that was based on a misunderstanding of a rule by one of the rookies I was working with..........

I would never do it again.

Sometimes the best learning opportunities come from allowing a rookie to sort thing out and come for help when needed........they learn the proper way things are done and hopefully when they are more experienced, won't poach a rookies call when the situation occurs.
