What would you do?

I think you have to speak up at halftime and tell this guy to call in his area. You may piss him off but better he be pissed off than continue to put up with such crap. BTW, it's likely that he's the one looking like the fool.

You may need to make a decision as to whether you want to continue working with the smaller group. If it continues to create these types of situations, I would probably drop it.

Joe, I agree with Tony's advice and I would only add that
this "vet" is making your calls because he does not trust
you. What you should have done, particularly on the back
court whistles, was to declare an inadvertent whistle.
Run over to him & ask him what he saw, then tell him he was
wrong and give the ball back to A, whether he agrees or not.
Let everyone in the gym know you have corrected his mistake.
He might be pissed but he won't be making your calls any
more.
