[just another ref]

Sitch 2. One ref had an out-of-bounds call and the other ref had a timeout by the coach. They huddled and went with the out-of-bounds.

Don't know if it's relevant, but, each time, the same ref "won".

My question is: What is talked about in the huddles and how is it determined which call to go with?

Thanks!

2.6 situation B: A violation and personal contact occur at about the same time. ...........the violation is observed by one official and the contact by the other.

Ruling: The officials shall decide which occurred first. etc. etc.
