The thread went from - my partner had information that apparently was delivered in the fairly correct manner which helped me make a proper call, which I didn't like because now I look like an idiot..... to, now folks think I'm incompetent and I hate the politics of officiating. Big leap.
Representing - many offiicials in many games have their partners go TWEET, TWEET, TWEET, come across the gym and whisper something into their ear. You see it on tv all the time. Best thing to do (IMO) is nod your head and decide whether you are going to accept this info or not. If you do - put the ball in play and let's go. If not - put the ball in play and let's go. Don't feel like an idiot - Your team got the play right. It happens to most of us, and maybe someday you'll do it too (albeit differently if you like).
As for politics, we've had this conversation many times on the Forum before. It is what it is. Politics is in the work place, the neighborhood, the bar, the rec league, etc. Work within it or not - your choice. But, it's tough to avoid.
