Oh boy. You might have done something like this:
- blow the whistle to get everybodys attention, especially his.
- huddle with him. Alone. Away from anyone else.
- In a calm manner explain to him that you were on top of
the play and there was no violation. Explain why. Don't
argue with him, if he disagrees tell him he's got to trust
you on this but the violation won't stand. If he still
disagrees remind him that while he was 50 feet away from
the play you were only 5 feet away from it and there was no
violation. Don't argue, smile, look calm.
- Your partner then declares his whistle to be inadvertent
and you play on.
- If he won't give up the call then let it go, you've done
your best but don't get into a fight on the court. After
the game might be another story
