I told him where to find it and told them it was FS whether we jumped or not. He said you are right but I am not going to call it unless the defense jumps.
After the game we talked and he agreed 100% that I was right but it didn't change the way he called it that night or how he will call it in the future.

Officials that don't know the rules bug me somewhat, although at least they can be shown the rule and retrained, and they generally are trying to do what they think is right, even if they don't know what that is.
But officials that KNOW the rules and choose to intentionally rule differently bug the everloving crap out of me.
