I mentioned a team with a deaf girl earlier this thread. I've had this team twice, a few weeks apart.

In the first game, I was the more experienced of the two officials. The coach informed us of the ASL interpreter on the bench. We informed the coach that the interpreter had to remain seated, as per rule.

In the second game, I worked with a more experienced official, who preferred to "let it go" if the interpreter wanted to stand. I sometimes defer to experience (unless it's blatantly wrong), so I chose not to battle about this one.

Thoughts?
