I agree, make the call. My game mgmt. soapbox really had nothing to do with this play.
Put it this way, refTN.
If you had allowed the violation to occur, and team B throws a long pass to hit a shot, and the shooter gets fouled to end the game, you incorrectly influenced the game by NOT making the original violation call. Courage and integrity are some of the ingredients needed to make a good official, and you displayed them here. If that superior/evaluator feels that a call like that, in that sitch, would not get you work in a particular assoc./conference, you don't need to work there anyway. Be able to look yourself in the mirror, and be willing to make the calls you see fit. If it will stand on tape/video, it's a good call.
