I'm in the camp that says this is what the veteran varsity observing official should have done. If the less experienced officials ask for your help, it should only be a "rules" question.

I do agree that the veteran was okay with telling the on-court officials to move away from the table to discuss. He darn shouldn't have been giving details on who should've been ejected.
