After the game, my partner who is a seasoned veterean, told me not to button-hook. I gave him my reason for what I had done and explained that it wasn't a full button-hook, switch. I told him they were bumping down the middle and I just didn't have the angle. It was a close game and I didn't want to miss the call. Maybe I was wrong, but sometimes, to get the correct call, you might have to move to a better position. Do you think I was wrong?

I've been told TO button-hook in this sitch, but you've got to be sure you can really get back down to the endline in time. It's rough to get caught there in the middle of the play and have to dodge players to get into position. If you can pull it off, why NOT? I'd be interested in why he told you no.
