He was backed up when I happened to speak to his conference supervisor several weeks later and was told that in his opinion the officials are present to do two things--look out for the safety of the players and administer the rules of the game fairly. Failing to do either would earn a suspension from him and possibly even get an official dropped from the conference.

Oh, I don't disagree. In this case I'm a little surprised if only because the rule is new-ish. Again, I feel horrible for the crew. I think my conversation with my supervisor would've begun with me asking, "So, how many games am I losing?"
