[QUOTE=inigo montoya]It's over the line because of what you're asking some who is not only new to officiating but also young. I don't know how things are where you are, but there is a shortage of good officials where I am.
How does this makes this young official a good official in the future?
By allowing a rule to be kick because of a veteran official misapplication of a rule. I think it hurts more than help this young official. In the future, he may not ever attempt to stand by a what he believe is correct because of someone's veteran status. Because he will always remember this time in which a veteran overturn his call. Officiating is about developing confidence too just in case you have forgotten.
By this official being young it can cause second guessing too in the future when it comes to rule application due to the status of his partner(s).
So, I still stand by what I said.
It's just as wrong to kick a rule.
