Chuck, I agree with Drake that a more direct aproach would be necessary. I have always been told that when we come to a partner with information to add you don't want to come with questions or say something like don't you think or how come you did this or why not try this or any other wishy washy comment. I would say this "Steve, I am 100% that the ball was released when your whistle blew" assuming Steve is his name. This gives him the choice to do whatever he wants. He might come back with "Well, your right but I had a late whistle on it and the foul actually occurred before the release" or "Wow, was it really released, so you think I should score it." If Steve is offended by your direct approach he needs to quit officiating. Now Steve should be upset if you said it loud enough that several others here it or if you try to dominate the conversation and don't let him make the final choice. Remember, it's his play so all you can do is give your input and let him make the final decision. If your still convinced he is doing the wrong thing then say "Steve, I will take full responsibility on this play." That means if the supervisor has a ***** then you are taking the heat and Steve should give in because you are willing to take the heat and he is off the hook. If that doesn't work then back off in a manner like you totally agree with him, not in a manner that your pissed that he didn't go with your decision because players and coaches can read that on your face. Whatever happens, never get into a argument with your partner just let it go and talk about it after the game.
