Trail cross-over during live ball
Sounds like it worked for you two, however we train our people to never cross over as trail during a live ball. Since this official had a great deal of experience he was probably reverting to previously recognized mechanics which obviously worked in this case- but definitely a must for the pre-game if you are going to do it. Not something you want to do too often especially with less experienced officials.
