I guess the real reason it pissed me off was because, this person has been volunteering for a few years, and has been making stupid calls like this for a while. I've tried to explain the correct rule and interpretation, but this person is just so ignorant he doesn't care. It has to be done his way. Maybe he didn't cost the team the game, but he made a call that directly affected the outcome of the game.

It's "defense".
I don't really get why you took this so personally. You're a first year ref, correct? No doubt you still have a lot to learn as well. Volunteers should take no crap from anyone. If the leagues want to pay for better refs, they have that option. Otherwise, again, they get what they pay for.

At last count, I've been doing this for 4 years.
