There is no rules basis or mechanism-in NCAA or FED rules- that will allow any official to overrule another official if that official doesn't wanna be overruled.

JR, I hate to say this, but I think you're still missing the boat here. Nobody's talking about over-ruling a call. We're talking about administration/enforcement after a correct call.

Chuck, the enforcement is
part of the call. You can't overrule that part of the call either if the calling official doesn't wanna be overruled. The calling official may be wrong as hell, but that's his problem if he's not gonna listen to his partner(s) and enforce it correctly. You just tell him what you think. If he still ain't gonna listen to you, then what exactly are you then gonna do? Have a big argument or fight out on the court? The bottom line is that if the calling official is absolutely sure that he's enforcing it correctly, then you can't overrule him. If he doesn't wanna give up the call, you can't make him- no matter how wrong he is. You sort it out after the game. Whoever was right is gonna be the survivor ultimately anyway.
