I am thrilled and expect them to get it right. Instead, they do nothing and give the ball to Team B. Good grief. I spoke with them in the locker room after the game and they said they weren't 100% sure that it was right/wrong so they went with what was called. I informed them they were wrong.
Even worse, my partners weren't sure I was right about the rule.
I emailed our rules interpreter and suggested he send it out in one of his "rules of the week" emails.

Thats what I was saying yesterday, dont provide info if you arent 100% sure.
It sounds as if we have a lot of posers amongst us, due to the economy.
Many of the newer guys I'm running across that dont know basic 101 rules truly believe that since they played/coached they dont need to crack open the book.
