The problem I have now, is two fold,
1) at the start of this whole discussion, this official had no idea that you could save the ball to yourself
2) after he found out that you could indeed do this, he is trying to defend the call that was made, using the word "momentum" as a crutch to do it.
Unfortunately, this is the mindset in my area, unapproachable and never wrong and never willing to learn the game.
For me now, it is all principle no hassle at all.

There are a couple of guys that I work with that are like that. Whhen someone points out that they misapplied a rule, they try to twist things around to defend their position. We as officials represent the integrity of the game and when officials don't demonstrate integrity, it really bothers me. Admit you're wrong and learn from the experience.
