1) You will find the list of correctable errors in NFHS R2-S10.

2) Yes, you talked to the Referee, but you did not talk to the calling official. The non-calling official should have the calling official come to the Scorer/Table and address your question.

3) You may have thought the calling official was wrong, but once he made his ruling, there is no more issues to discuss.

4) I damn well will criticize the non-calling the official for his conduct as you described it. The non-callling official may well have disagreed with his partner but it was unethical and unprofessional conduct on his part to discuss his opinion of the situation. You can go to the NASO or NFHS websites and see model Codes of Ethics for sports officials. And I am sure that the North Carolina High School Athletic Association has a code of ethics for its officials that are remarkably similar to the ones the you will find at either of the NASO or NFHS websites.

IAABO (International Association of Approved Basketball Officials) is the largest basketball officials association in the country and the leading educator of basketball officials in the country. IAABO members have served on the NFHS Rules Committee in the past and still do so currently.

6) I do not take the position of judging you lightly. I stand by my earlier statement. You know nothing of the rules and mechanics of the game as well as ethical and professional conduct for sports officials. You can go to the NASO or NFHS websites and see model Codes of Ethics for sports officials.
