Sometimes the natural movement of the players makes the call for you and you can use it as a read on what to call. Your partner may have hung you out to dry because he didn't know any better. You were both working JV or middle school game to gain the experience to move up. These are the type of things that can be used as a learning experience. Take the positive side and discuss with your partner after the game and both could learn something to move on with. After 25+ years I still learn things
Taking the smart-aleck approach may make the point to your partner but, it makes the officiating team look bad. I have seen too many officials forget that they are part of a team.
Bottom line here is you make the call based upon what you see. If your partner doesn't like your call then tell them not to work with you next time. 99.9% of officals will respect that approach. The others , you don't to work with.
