I can sympathize, but I don't think I can advise on how to handle things better. I would have likely handled things the same as you. In neither sitch was that the time or the place for your partners to have that conversation. Halftime, if R wants to bring up the disparity in application of the new rule, that's fine. We need to talk and make sure we are on the same page. The problem is for most of us that is not really a new rule. I can tell you the exact way it is written is what has been stressed as "need to call these" in rules meetings here for the last two years. The same guys who didn't want to call those fouls before are not going to want to call them now. I would have stuck to my guns just like you did.
I am a pretty literal guy, if our state supervisor says "hey call the game like this" I will step in line. I've had plenty of rubs like the ones you describe. Sometimes GIGDGO is all you can do. Sorry no great advice, I feel like you handled the situation fine.
