You gave him bad information, so do you stick him? No, then how do you deal with the other coach?
Ace - with all due respect, many of the leagues I ref in, coaches don't have asst coaches or keep their own books. And yes, if I give them them the info from the one and only official book at the table - and they violate it - I stickem..... and it's never happened yet.

Maybe when I hit the "big time" of score keepers that pay close attention, clock operators that are on the ball, books that are always right, multiple books, several asst coaches, etc., I'll be able to change my ways....and I will keep this post in mind in the future.
