Trail didn't blow the play dead when the team pulled the ball out, so I did. Like I said, if I were working with partners who I knew took care of their responsibilities -- Rich or Nevadaref for example :P -- I wouldn't bother taking care of that. It's not my responsibility normally. During the summer it is.

We have all had bad partners. Get over it. That should not be an excuse for what you do or do not do in this or most situations.
That being said I agree, in summer ball I really could give a damn about what a coach thinks in that situation. At least hear summer ball is a different environment and even if I eject a coach, it is not like they have the same penalties, so honestly I do not care what they say or feel about the job I do. And in many cases the game I was assigned was not from the actual assignor that would give me games that that school was involved with either.
That being said, if I read this correctly, you probably should have called the play dead earlier or let it go. I can see the point of view from the coach, but I would not worry about their point of view. It is what it is and this is the place to make mistakes that have little consequence in the bigger picture.
