Overruling another official: My own experience

I once had a fellow official overrule one of my calls. He was on the end line where the ball was to be put into play, and he said, "No, no, blue ball." I was floored! I couldn't believe he reversed a call that was not even near his area.

During the next break, I quietly told him that I had made the right call and asked why he overruled it; he said, no joke: "I let that go for the other team earlier." In other words, "Make up call." I have never actually heard a fellow referee say that before (and this was a varsity official).

After the game was over, he said he didn't like that I didn't support HIS calls.... Needless to say, I lost all respect for that official and haven't worked with him since. I am just glad that it was just a recreational league game.
