Questions: Was I wrong to want to get out of there?
Was I wrong to explain my decision once I got stuck there?
Was I wrong to leave my jawing partner ( after I repeatedly tried to get him to leave with me )?
Also please give any insight into what else I should have or should not have done.
Thanks in advance.

1.It amazes me the number of officials that want to stand around to get some type of "good job" or words of praise from the coach. Do your job, give the extra balls to the home coach and go home.
2. The coach asked , you explained. too bad if he did'nt like the explanation. You were professional and truthful about it. It is the coaches personal problem.
3. At that point, NO. If your partner wants to play politician, thats his personal problem.
One thing you failed to do. Call your assignor and ask him never to schedule you with that official again.

I work the plate, I'm walking off the field after the game's over. If my partner wants to stick around, he'll realize soon enough I didn't stay and wait for him.
I don't expect praise after a game, nor do I want to put myself in a position like this.
