You got the rules response. I just wanted to add that I have no problem with the way you handled it. It sounds like it was done in a respectful manner and it sounds like the official got the call wrong - not because of a judgement situation but becaus they did not know the rule.

IMO, I'm glad you brought it up. That official may or may not look into the rule more, but I believe there is a greater possibility of them doing so because you approached them. If they do look into it, they may be better informed for the very next game and similar situation. Otherwise, they may go for who knows how long before some other official brings it up to them.

I guess I'm trying to say they may be a better official, in part due to this conversation.

(FWIW, I had a coach approach me during halftime of a Varsity game. I did the JV game and he was the JV coach. It was a brief, respectful conversation about traveling and I had no problem with it.)
