Chuck, I'd be willing to bet my last FOX 40 that even if you were not the R, and FTs were not suppose to be shot, you wouldn't let it happen. That's because you are confident and know the rules. In every crew there is usually a stronger (even if it's just perceived) official...and that official isn't always the R. In my experiences, that official will probably "get his/her way" in a dispute...R or not...because the other official(s) will "give in". (Probably better stated as "concede" untill the locker room)
What you guys are discussing is two hard headed officials that will not give an inch. This is going to be
very rare indeed...becuase any official that knows anything, knows this looks terrible.
What you have here is a "filibuster" and it's happening right on the court...now you need a "nuclear option".
I'm going with JR's "nuclear option"...the guy that makes the call, and is continuing into the administration of the call, gets the "nucelar option"...he/she gets to blow the other official(s) out of the water and do it his/her way.
Again, this option is only used if you
absolutely cannot change the other officials mind...and as JR stated, there is a rule to back this option.
