[26 Year Gap]

Last night, during a dead ball, we had a substitution of about 5 players. Two of the visitors' players went to the bench, but the third sub was confused as he did not know which player was the third guy to go to the bench. After some milling around, the V HC requested a timeout, which I granted. One of my partners came up to me to inform me that the TO should not have been granted because there were 6 players on the floor.

Point of note: This particular official is always right, even when he is not. What is your view of his comment?
