I know guys that would rip your head off and crap in the hole on top of your neck if you pulled that nonsense on them. Not me though. I'm a nice guy. You would hear about it though. Guaranteed.

Are you talking about on a "T" or a garden variety foul? On a garden variety foul why would I explain what another official called? On a "T" we are getting together, exchanging information and the calling official is heading away from the bench. If the coach wants to know what happened, with the afore mentioned caveat's, then I am going to repeat what the calling official said to me. In my view this shows that we are on the same page. You obviously feel differently.
I have seen officials get animated after a game (one came to blows, which was cool considering who was involved) when they felt their partner didn't back them up by saying "Ask them, I don't know" when there was a "T" called. So who is right and who is wrong? Maybe it just varies between associations and geography.
As for those guys doing the ripping and crapping, we all know that violence is the first resort of the ignorant!
