Your partner would have been right under NCAA ball. I wouldn't get into a pissing match over this with him, but here's how I would have done it.
"No, it's not. In high school rules, the only Ts that go POI are double Ts."
partner: "yes, it is."
me: "You willing to bet a game fee on it at half time/after the game?"
While I'm not going to cause a scene on the court, I'll pull out the book on him later; anyone who that thoroughly screws up a basic rule isn't going to affect my career any worse than kicking this rule might have already done.
I had to correct two vet partners (in the same game) on this one this year when I realized what they were doing. They didn't fight me, but then again, I didn't give them the option of being right by asking, "are you sure?"
