Does it happen that way very often - probably not - but that is the way my college assignors and upper level Prep and High school assignors would like to see it happen in an ideal world.

I disagree completely with that. It looks like you're afraid to take care of your
own business. The player was b!tching at
you, not your partner. On tape to me, it looks like your partner had to come in and bail you out because you wouldn't penalize obvious unsporting behavior that was aimed directly at you.
I also disagree that upper-level assignors everywhere want to see that situation handled that way. Your's might, but I doubt that it's unanimous. Imo, most assignors/evaluators want to see whether an official will take care of bidness himself or whether they will walk away from conflict.
Again jmo, but I think that there's just too damn much over-analysis and over-thinking going on re: these types of plays anymore. And that's exactly why the NCAA and NFHS are constantly putting out POE's and directives to try and curtail unsporting behavior. If an unsporting act happens, just call the damn thing. Too many officials seem to think that they're failing in game mangement 101 if they do happen to call a "T".
End of rant.....
