i think you did the right thing in this situation. i myself started officiating when i was 14. im 18 now, and coming to the conclusion of my 2nd year with a license. you will realize sometimes things will happen regardless of who you work with, but ive never seen anything like that happen before. even if your partner was out of bounds and it struck him, the ball would be Out of bounds. but you said he clearly knocked it in. i think in some situations its okay to let your partner "live or die" with a situation, but if you CLEARLY saw it, it was the best thing the correct this. but if you knew he tipped it back in, you shouldve blown it right away. it looks really awkward calling it as late as you did. but obviously, next time you will be on top of things if it happens again. and granted you are starting out when you are young so you can rack up the experience. but bottom line, hopefully you dont have to work with this guy again.!~ all i can say to you is, thumbs up!good work.!
