"T" for jewelry

Next question: would it be appropriate for me to talk to here about all this? Gently let her know she was wrong about the T and also ask about her "Management Skills?"

Personally, I think so! Officials who can not be respectfully corrected by fellow officials shouldn't be on the floor. I would tell her that you conferred with some other Ref's via the Internet and found that the T was an incorrect call.

One year I was goaded into assessing a T by a coach for a girl on the other team wearing illegal head-wear. Dumbest thing I ever did in my life! (well...maybe not THE dumbest... ) The coach had her nose in a rulebook at the time and in the interest of moving the game along I complied. Man...it's hard to even admit it now! Suffice it to say I'll never let that happen again.
