If he didn't wander on to the court how could you have pulled him back on to the X?

That said...if the JV guys were really screwing this up I sort of like that the V ref stepped in to help them if they were in over their heads. "Hey fellas, move away from the coaches and make your ruling" is great advice in this sitch. But I really don't like that they inserted themselves in the final ruling.
