Here's a question. Do we take direction from our superiors like this during a game? If I'm calling a state championship game and the state supervisor of officials takes exception to the way I did something, he doesn't have the authority under NFHS rules to make any adjustment then, does he? No matter how wrong I may be, it's still my game, my call, isn't it? Is this not the case in FIBA in general, or the olympics in particular?
