(I am scheduled to call with him this week - I will be the R this time even thought he as several years of calling games on me (we are assigned the R position usually due to experience - the most experienced get the R slot but obviously not always). So just because a guy has many years of "experience" doesn't mean he really knows the game that well.

Very true. This was a first situation like this for me. Never heard of anything like this to go by or help out on how to handle this so I had to react in the moment to go with it or not. And I chose to not. But thanks for the advice and insight!
