			I just got into officiating after coaching for years (I still coach as well), and during our pre-season games the vet I was working with was still following old rules instead of the new ones.  I know because I've coached at that level before, and because I spent the day before studying the new rules. 
But I went along with him because he was the lead official, I was told to 'learn from him'. 
 
What's the best way to approach your partner when you know he is wrong? 
 
Also, a similar question - During a game I was coaching this situation came up and started thinking like an official and wasn't sure how I would handle it -  
One of my players drove to the lane and slammed into the defender (an obvious charge I'll admit!)  The lead called nothing, but after a moment, the trail blew his whistle and called the charge.  Should the trail have made this call even though technically it wasn't his area?
