Rather than question his decision on the play, you should be questioning why he was even looking there in the first place. Does he not trust you to pull your own weight on the crew?

Believe me Nevada, I was thinking the same thing. But since I'm just getting into this circle of officials I kept my mouth shut. The major problem that I have is that I look a hell of a lot young than I actually am. It gives me the sense that my partners do not trust me as much from the beginning. I try to make up for that with hustle, determination, and making sure to have a good pre-game that I'm actively involved in (if not leading). It's a learning experience. I got a note yesterday from the assigner that we were commended by both coaches via e-mail. So I'm happy with what we did even though we had a few situations we probably missed a call or two that we should have gotten.
