He disagreed with my judgment but was quite polite about it.
I forgot to assess him a charged TO for that, but that error turned out to make no difference in the game.

What if you had said, "I changed my mind and decided that I was wrong -- it wasn't a foul?"
I can't see how it could ever look good trying to find a citation for a coach -- especially if it takes more than 5 seconds.
Then again, it seems that Ohio is really trying to do its own thing. Some of the things I read in the Gold Book are quite good -- some are amazingly nutty. But then again, when in Rome...
