Then why not just say "be quiet or you're gone?" By offering me your whistle you are telling me you are not up for the job, and because I am in complete agreement I agree.
You are working someone here, but it is only yourself. You have made it clear that:
1. You want me to ref because you can't
2. You didn't mean what you said because you retracted your offer
3. Because your bluff got called and you have nowhere to run, you will toss me from the game.
Seems like a good strategy. I advise all young officials to embrace it. In fact, if you are new, take it a step further. Bring an extra shirt and have your cell phone with you so you can call your assignor and offer the job away.
