It's called "back-stabbing".

I've seen dozens of different "Code of Ethics" printed for various sports and sports officials. One thing that they all have in common is some kind of clause stating that you don't crap on your fellow officials in public.

Missed calls or bad officiating happens some times. There are sub-par officials in all sports. What your buddy did though was inexcusable.
