Well the second time it happened, if I were you, I wouldn't have even contemplated putting air in the whistle. That's your partner's call, and you're in no position to make it standing at half court.

You shouldn't even be watching the ball or the thrower, if both of you have your attention on the thrower, and B-4 gives and uppercut to A-4 who's going to see it?

Other than that, some coaches are ***-holes, and you gotta deal with them, if you think they went way over the line, send a report through your association.

I know that unless I do something wrong, I've got the full backing of my association, when the SHTF.

A few more things, when someone decides they're going to chew me out after a game, I walk away, don't give them a chance to chew you out, and definitely never call the assignor from the gym. If he's that serious about it, he'll file a report. This isn't something you need to drag the assignor into right then and there.

I've had situations where an irate fan/coach/parent has come up to me after a game asking for a word with me. I give them a simple answer of "No!", then take notice of the bewildered look on their face as I head for the safe haven of the referee's room.
