Had the coaches chirped in, the youngster may have had a chance. It is better for the game at hand to move on. This one play will not decide the final outcome. This vet is probably well known in the area and it would not have been prudent at this time for the newbie to make a stand. Save it for half time or after the game or take it to the assignors as mentioned. We must be partners on the floor and give a sense of professionalism, even if it means one of us has to bite their tongue.

I'm sure this vet probably is "well known" in this area. But it won't be for his good points.
