Well, JMO, contrary to what you posted above, the R is NOT responsible to make a decision when officials disagree on a call. I just wanted to make sure that any new or inexperienced reading your post didn't make the mistake of believing that statement might be correct.
I don't know who JMO is, and by the code of law you are correct. Now tell us what to do when officials disagree? Jump Ball? flip a coin? duke it out? What do we do genius?

I think any inexperienced official should not try and challenge the R on a ruling, even if he/she knows the R is wrong. That is a perfect recipe for disaster. Might take a long time to live that one down if not totally ruin the new official career for life.

Peace
